I planned to put a couple of AC1200 nodes in weatherproof enclosures and put them in outbuildings. Problem is these buildings are not air conditioned and exceed 100F (could be as high as 120-130 potentially). Looks like the mesh notes are rated for up to 95f.

Is there any outdoor rated node or antenna that will work with the google mesh stuff, and potentially give a usable wifi signal over a mostly open 5 acres? I could put a couple of powered repeaters if necessary.

Thank you

Hello!

Bought a wifi router 5-6 years ago and thinking about buying a new one (for new features developped since, there must be some)

The thing I'm wondering tho is is this router now useless if i buy a new one or it can be a new point in the mesh (if i wire it in like a router)

My internet entry point is on one side of the house and so i'm thinking of pulling an ethernet cable all the way to the other side and plugging the old router there, strenghtening my mesh.

I have a very simple home network setup

ISP —— ISP Router with integrated wifi (Device B) —— Google wifi (main) and 3 connected mesh pods

✅ Amazon.com works on mobile hotspot on my laptop
✅ Amazon shopping app works on 5G

✅ Amazon.com works on SSID of Device B on my laptop
✅ Amazon shopping app works on Device B

🚫Amazon.com not working via Google WiFi SSID
🚫 Amazon shopping app not working via Google WiFi SSID

Troubleshooting done so far:
- Disabled Preferred Activity
- Changed DNS from ISP to Google, Cloudflare, NextDNS, OpenDNS
- Disabled IPv6
- Disabled guest WiFi
- Changed LAN subnet pool
- Disabled Family WiFi setup
- Did factory reset

I know some of these steps have no relation to the issue but tried. Looking for ideas on how to resolve.

We just moved to a 3,200 sq foot home that is made of stone and cinder block. I had a Google Mesh Wifi I bought several years ago but never used. I have Verizon FiOS and was told to disconnect to FiOS router and connect the Google Mesh router using the Google Home app. When I connect the mesh router, it turns green for a bit but then orange. I try to add it to my Home App and it says it cannot connect. What am I doing wrong here?

So I’ve been dealing with my main router (Google wifi)
Disconnecting repeatedly everyday
Even when the wifi is connected via Ethernet to my PC it has slow and constant buffers then proceeds to disconnect randomly and flash yellow

I called Google support to no help with them just recommending all the troubleshooting I’ve already done online ….

So as of now I just did a factory reset on the devices for the 20th or so time this year and it’s working fine temporarily

But in the next 24 hours when it goes back to constant crashing and having to unplug router point and plug back in hoping it’ll connect (sometimes 10+ times a day)
what can I do ????

I don’t feel like spending 300$ on a new mesh system

I use 1 router and 2 points

I have no issues from my ISP and modem is fine

Anyone had similar issues that can help

I was having connection issues so I had a new ethernet port added in my home office. I just connected the mesh point to the wall and it now shows no mesh. I restarted the network, left each unplugged for 10min and then plugged back in. It now shows as hardlined, but still no mesh. Any ideas how to get the mesh back?

Its a nest wifi pro*

Update

The google home app now says "mesh test failed" and tells me to make sure they are hooked up. When I unplug 1 the other has full wifi and vice versa

I went to a GoodWill today and saw on the shelf a 2 pack of AC-1034 Google Nest Wi-Fi routers with the long USB-C power cords. They were both in a plastic bag and were priced at $10. I did not do much research while I was there as it was right near closing time.

I got home, wiped them down as they were a tad dirty and then did some research on them. After doing that research I am torn if I should even keep them or just toss or donate them back. Or toss the routers and keep the USB-C Power cords lol

I currently just use my ISP modem/router and its got Wi-Fi 6 and does A-Ok.

Any input would be appreciated.

Ditched Google wifi router after months of have low wifi connection to my dell laptop. My new ATT router works perfectly for my dell.

Spent several hours today trying to set up a single H2D node on iPhone. Posting this because the exact error string has been showing up in this subreddit and the Nest Community forum for years with no resolution from Google.

Setup context:

• Xfinity gateway in bridge mode (confirmed via admin at 10.0.0.1)
• Single H2D node, factory reset multiple times
• iPhone, latest iOS, Google Home app updated to current version during troubleshooting
• Error occurs consistently at the "checking internet connection" step during setup

The error:
The operation couldn't be completed. (googlemac_iPhone_Home_Wifi_Operations_Impl_Impl.PollForCompletionOperationImpl error 0.)

What I tried:

• Multiple factory resets
• Force closing and reinstalling Google Home app
• Power cycling full stack in strict order
• Verified Local Network permission for Google Home in iOS Settings
• Bluetooth on throughout
• Confirmed H2D serving DHCP correctly on 192.168.84.x subnet
• App update mid-session (it had not auto-updated)

What fixed it (sort of):
Took Xfinity out of bridge mode. H2D then completed setup. Running double NAT now which is not the end goal.

The real issue:
This error is iOS-specific. Android setup works. Google has known about this for years. The setup UI shows zero progress steps, zero diagnostic information, and raw exception strings as user-facing error messages. That is not acceptable for a $200+ device.

If anyone has gotten H2D fully set up on iOS with an upstream gateway in bridge mode, would love to hear how.

Finally took the plunge and paid a guy to come round and wire up my 3 pack Nest WiFi Pro system. 3,500 sq ft property, and it's an absolute game-changer. I pay for 500mb internet, and now get that in every room. Previously there were rooms getting ~1-2mb at times, as the mesh points never maintained a great connection wirelessly.

If anyone else is thinking to wire backhaul, it's worth it!

Hi can someone out there help me out. I have this tplink TL wa 3001 router that can act as a bridge/ client mode. It took me 2 weeks of trying to figure out how to connect my Google nest via wifi to the tplink device across the house to connect that vi lan line to my Epson stylus pro 9900 so I can tirelessly print. In the end I found out multiple ways how not to do it but was wondering if there is someone out there that had the same situation as me and knows how to. Seriously open to suggestions. After a week of trouble shooting I wanted to ask for help on here. If this doesnt work out im just drilling hole within walls and creating a clean installation instead. Thanks in advance.

Upgraded 2 days ago from a GRAX210T** **to a nest WiFi pro, WiFi and wired devices work really good, i live in a duplex fairly small and would notice every time i would go to my bedroom I would have connection issues or just whatever was in the room would disconnect, Apple TV/phone etc. troubleshooting the issue for a full day I found out that my Lg Speaker s80tr is causing this, as soon as I turn of/unplug the speaker all the connections around the house work flawlessly, I tried moving the router more away from the speaker but no matter what I do it’s the same issue, replacing the speaker is not an option so am I just out of luck? Is there any other tips I can try before returning the router, this is really frustrating and I can’t seem to fix it

i’m using google wifi mesh system as ethernet isnt possible in my situation.
i ran into a problem a month ago my ping on games would spike up to 200-700 every 10-15 seconds or so then drop to normal. also large amounts of packet loss. making any online game unplayable. i havnt had any issue with the mesh system for couple years until now. i have one mesh point in my room. ~4 meters away from my pc. i ended up disconnecting the one in my room and now my internet speed+ping is completely fine no problems. the next mesh point is pretty much in the same spot but on the other side of the wall.
i’m not complaining as my internet works now but why tf would this happen?😂 it just doesn’t make any sense to me. no problems for years until now. only annoying thing now is my room light is controlled by google. now i have to go into the app instead of saying hey google turn the light off.
but does anyone know how to fix this? is my mesh point broken or something?

I've been using my three Pro's for years and they've always been fantastic. In the last few weeks I've started seeing frequent drops. Is there some way to tell when the 3.78.518349 update was applied? I can't rely on the uptime reported on the API status page because I've been manually resetting to try to resolve the issue.

​

I realize there's a lot of other potential causes but given some of the other posts I've read I really want to know if this could be the issue before I spend days debugging this. So my questions are:

​

- Is it possible to determine the date on which the update was installed on my points?

- Generally how long does it take to get an update once it's released by Google? Days, weeks, months?

Just placed an order for a 3-pack Nest Wifi Pro, $279 promotion, but paid for with credits from previous cell phone purchase. The only reason I'm upgrading my original google wifi (not nest, but google wifi) is because I need a thread border router, and I have absolutely no use for any of the other border router options out there.

I just feel like a sucker for buying a wifi system released 4 years ago that doesn't support the latest wifi standards... I don't have a lot of Wifi 7 devices, but I have a couple. Am I making a mistake, was there a better way to go Thread Border Router for a lot less? ($100 for a nest hub I don't want seems dumb). Appreciate any thoughts, either telling me I'm going to love the upgrade, or warnings to go another route while I'm still in the cancellation/return period 😄

Does anyone know if it's possible to mount a Google mesh node outdoors? This would be in the northeast so temps into the 80° - 90° range during the summer and can drop close to 0° in winter. Any ideas?

Hey guys,

I'm not sure why this happens but if I plug my Google mesh into a ups or surge protector the speeds become unbearably slow. Is this normal? Should I just keep it plugged directly into the wall? I figured a ups would help and it somewhat does but the speeds are still noticeable slower.

is there a benefit of mesh when i have 4 nest pros that are wired up to the root ap? i do want them to all be on the same ssid, and have the seamless switching, but i want more control over the network. thanks!

I've had google wifi for many years in the UK at our last house using it as a router from a virgin media hub (in modem mode). We've moved house and had to change to Sky Max Hub and I cannot for the life of me get the router to connect to google home. Factory reset the device both via the app and the button. The LAN cable definitiely works but everytime I go through set up, I get to checking internet connection and it hangs before timing out. No more information given. Is there setting on the hub I need to change? I knwo I can't use it like I did witht he Virgin media box, but I can't find anyone with simialr problems online. Any suggestions?

Anyone else agree? Any tips? I’ve had these for years and they are utterly unreliable. The internet is always going out even though speed test show “blazing fast”. I pay for the highest bandwidth so it should be great. Thinking it was a coverage problem I bought a bunch more routers put em in every room. I have eight of these POS units now. They constantly go offline. I restart them and it helps for a while. They almost all show “weak connection” despite being within 20 feet of the main router or another router. I just restarted all of them and now it just randomly factory reset a few of them even though I just clicked “restart” on the app. I’ve absolutely had it. Worst investment ever.
