The downside is that the range isn't as good. Just FYI, I posted last week about giving up on Nest/Google and bought a Netgear Orbi router and access point. That was on NYE - there were 46 other notifications last week that the device couldn't connect to the internet. Give XX Pet Fence Company a call at XXXXX if you need assistance or have questions. Please make sure your portal is turned on and working properly. Hi Robert, there have been no recent updates from your DogWatch portal at Home. It notifies me with an email if it loses network connectivity:
To see how often it is failing, I ran my dog's wireless collar tracker (it reports to me over the internet if he gets close to the boundary fence) through the Nest devices instead of my Comcast router last week. LIke cupidfallsfarm, below, my problem is gone because I gave up.
Why can't these propeller heads figure out how to make a simple, robust and consistently effective mesh router system? Even looking at other router options is frustrating because they all seem to have their own issues in some way or another. They seem to have been kicking the can down the proverbial road for almost a year based on other Google community posts. I really don't expect Google to do anything to address whatever's wrong with these Nest routers and mesh points. Sent this along to Alex as definitive proof that the problem lies with the Google Nest wifi. It has a gigabit+ wifi 6/ethernet card and its still getting the crappy 200's DL and low 400's UL on Google Nest wifi.īUT when i plug the new laptop directly into the ONT I'm getting a screaming fast 497 UL and DL!!! Now that I retired yesterday and had to give my work laptop back, I bought a new laptop. They even gave us a new ONT, but that didn't help increase speeds on the Google Nest wifi network. Google tried blaming the ISP, but they tested their fiber line up to and into our house and thru the ONT. Testing our iPhones showed very slightly higher DL and UL speeds than the laptops, but nothing near what we were getting previously. That's when we found out that the download speed was reduced to the 200's (per the Google Home app), but showed only in the 100's (or even much lower at times!!!) on our laptops. Then in mid-December we starting noticing latency and speed issues on both of our laptops. We have a 500 Mbps fiber service and we were consistently in the high 400's for download and upload for 9+ months. I did so and rebooted the network, but we're still getting HALF the download speed we were getting beforehand.
I've been going back and forth w/ Alex in the Google Nest Customer Service group and after sharing numerous speed tests and Google Home app network status info, his only suggestion was to reset my DNS to static.
