I just pulled out a Google Wifi setup because I found it was would drop clients if we were streaming any video content. I thought that maybe the dropped clients were connected to the mesh APs (which weren't hard–connected to the LAN) but no, they were connected to the main AP. Replaced with a three node eero system in exactly the same locations/topology (one primary, two connected via eero's mesh) and …no dropped clients, no problems whatsoever.
Really wanted to like Google Wifi but it was just too flaky too quickly to put up with.
- simtel20 8y agoAgreed. I replaced mine when I found out it couldn't be put behind a router fronting 2 pppoe connections. Somehow it broke pmtu-d trying to send data to Google (config backup? Who knows), and caused meltdowns constantly because of it.
