According to our router expert
With the Google WiFi router, you can easily create a stable WiFi network in your house. This smart router ensures that all devices receive a stable wireless signal, without your having to change the settings. Want to change the settings anyway? You can do so with the simple app. Easily expand the Google WiFi's signal by adding up to 2 routers. That way, you create a multi-room WiFi system with a strong signal throughout the house. You'll be able to walk up the stairs while having a video chat or watching a live stream without buffering. You manage the Google WiFi signal per device. For instance, you can set it up so your kids don't get wireless internet after their bedtime, but your devices do.

Let's start with my current Platinum 7840 router that I got from the provider is not performing well in terms of range. Downstairs neat, but as soon as I'm upstairs it collapses and I don't even get 10Mbit. (Package 250/250Mbit). Because my whole house is (smart) with a Nest doorbell, Nest thermostat, Nest Hub + number of Nest minis, my choice was quickly made to go for Nest wifi + 1 point.
This was mainly the choice because installation (for all products) is very easy.
Picked up the Nest Wifi today at Coolblue in Tilburg. Very friendly and the store is very well prepared for the corona virus (class). Service a 10!..
Contents box ; 1x Nest Wi-Fi router 1x Nest Wi-Fi point 1 x Ethernet cable 2x power supply Manual (not used).
Roadmap ; Connect plug. Ethernet cable into the Nest router and to your current modem/router port. Start the Google home application and click on + and let it search in your network. Router was found immediately and step-by-step plan follows. Choose your SSID (wifi name) and your password. After this you will be given a choice to place a WiFi point, which I placed in the bedroom (1st floor). Here is also a short step-by-step plan to, for example, use the Google assistant and configure your voice.
Because I already own Nest/Google products, I didn't have to do this again.
Finally, an update was found and installed. This took 2/3 minutes total installation was less than 10 minutes.
Finally speed ;
Router is in the living room and the point in the bedroom. You can run the test in Google home application.
1 test living room ; 247Mbit / 200Mbit 2 test bedroom ; 247Mbit / 204Mbit 3 test attic. ; 245Mbit / 193Mbit
As you can see, range remains the same throughout the house! Where I used to get no higher than 10Mbit upstairs in the bedroom.
Are there any negative points?
Yes, I miss an extra lan connection on the point. To connect a device via wire.
Unfortunately no Wifi 6 support, but I don't have any devices that support it yet.
Last disadvantage ; Price
If in doubt, I say don't do it! If convenience, speed and range are important to you, then this product is the right choice.
If you are a Tweaker and want to adjust many settings in the router, then I advise against the product.
