Plenty of better alternatives and google does not recommend you using this with a router in front of it. Depending if you just want bleeding edge, good overall, or saving your pennies here are a few way better options.

Bleeding edge : NETGEAR Orbi RBK50, pretty much commercial grade currently the best of the best. Has 2 dual bands with 4 streams and 5ghz dedicated backhaul. If you want a system that will last for a few years and you live in a HEAVY usage house hold probably what you want. Will cover a 2000+sq foot home no problem.

Good overall performance and cost: Tenda Nova MW6, Sleeper hit this year. Came out at around $130 but was very highly reviewed. It is also a set it and forget it with limited customization just like google wifi, but its better then google wifi in every aspect and its cheaper. If you care about the 5ghz coverage in your home this 3 pack unit has almost double the range and better overall performance. Its success has raised its price to around $170 but currently can be had for $160 if you clip the coupon.

Second option the NETGEAR Orbi RBK40, before the RBK50 came out, this was the record holder for best mesh kit out there, so it would be a very good option and better performance but your also paying a lot more.

Frugal purchase: Samsung Smart Things AC2600 kit I believe it was. If you can still find them they were selling the smart things mesh kits for under $150, I believe even under $100 at one point or another. The kits total throughput is way better then google wifi, but I recall correctly had similar range. The other benefit it can be used as a base for smart home integration with smartthings devices.

Well there you go, three good options that should fix your problems. Depending on the need pick one of the above and you should be good.



Lol, getting down voted cause I know what I am talking about, and people are butt hurt for over paying for a kit that should not cost more then $120 at max.
Highly recommended if you've got retired parents you don't live near. Pretty much set it and forget it devices and you can go into the Google Wifi app on your phone and make any adjustments if/when needed.
I like my Google WiFi but here are some alternatives.

WiFi at home is pretty good, don't really need the mesh system (it could be good for the basement actually). I am still thinking to get it because I like that I can control how much internet the kids use and what times they can be online and so on. My question is... Are there other alternative options out there for cheaper that will allow me to turn my kids WiFi on and off and so on...

Or should I just get the Google Wi-Fi?

I can't vouch for alternatives, but the google wifi controls are easy/intuitive. you name the kids devices, group them, then set a time period to 'pause'.

However, I'm still looking for a method to 'meter' their usage. i believe amazon devices do this, I wish there was a router-level control.

Over priced, poor performer, 5ghz range is abysmal compared to other alternatives.

Hi what would be a good alternative? I'm getting bad connection at parts of my house that's further from my current modem. if I use these, does it mean my current router becomes useless?

This works great for a hardwired house. Each unit acts as an access point if hard wired and the best part is that if you happen to have dead spots in places you can't hardwire you can still add another hub that will "mesh" into your network.

There's a reason why the guy is getting downvoted. The device supports 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz which is standard for any router. The value of having the 3 pack is that you can extend the range by placing them across different floors and parts of your house. You would be replacing your router with this but still utilizing your same modem.

This is exactly the reason I bought it. Set it, forget it and never worry about it. I think this system is awesome.
