I have one of these, best router I have had. The silly Huawei ISP ones only allowed up to 16 devices, which is useless if you're getting into home automation :/

    Is routing all traffic through Google a wise choice?

      What browser you typing this in? ;)

      But no, it keeps analytics, but your traffic itself is not going via Google. That'd slow stuff down horribly.

        Not Chromium.

        You wouldn't really notice a slow down if it is sending your request parallel to them along with DNS. HTTP GETs are like 300 bytes or something miniscule.

        e: I'm probably just paranoid but who knows.

        • That's true. And you can switch DNS but…yeah.

          However my faith in network geeks means there'd be someone out there who could and would test this, and the risk of a lawsuit for Google likely outweighs the benefit.

    This and the eero 6+, any differentbetween two?

      < this much >

  • Does this allow you to toggle 2.4 and 5ghz? Some smart devices only connect via 2.4ghz.

    • no - possibly a lot of trouble for setting up smart/iot devices that require your phone to be on a 2.4ghz network (for the initial pairing phase). Three solutions I've researched are:

      -move away so that your phone hops onto the 2.4ghz band, then setup… seems kinda silly
      -if your phone allows, force it onto the band
      -use a hotspot from another device (hotspots are exclusively 2.4ghz) with the same SSID and PW, setup the smart device, disable hotspot, then re-enable mesh network
