How does this compare to the Netgear Orbi Mesh wifi system?

I don't see any info on the speed or bandwidth of this router. Also, would prefer if the access points each had at least 2 ethernet ports.

It is more costly, but people buy multiple nest routers and make a mesh out of them instead of the regular wifi points that come with this. They can use the Ethernet to backhaul.

What does backhaul mean in terms of mesh wifi systems and Ethernet? I'm just trying to get better coverage in my home. I currently don't have any devices hardwired except one raspberry pi running Home Assistant. I don't foresee any additional wired devices, even my work from home PC.

In addition, is it possible to use my ISP's router and wifi signal to extend in my home or does this Google system replace my ISP's wifi router?

And lastly, why the thumbs down in this thread? It appears that this deal is in line with the 2 other current Nest wifi deals out there.

I bought this deal.
I currently have a Netgear Orbi system that has served me well for the past few years, but has started dropping my internet connection on a regular basis. I've read online that this seems to be a common problem with them.

Oh wow. I just bought the Costco AC3000 Orbi 3pc pack. Was this the model that has the drop ussies?

This is incorrect. The old Google wifi could do Ethernet backhaul to APs(an in and an out port). The nest wifi has an in and an out port on the router, but the APs have NO ports on APs, neither in or out.
Nest wifi and goggle wifi pucks CAN be mixed to extend the mesh system for cheaper.

You only need the ISP router if you still get cable through them. If not, ditch it ASAP. The nest router can connect to the ONT via network cable (cat5 or cat6).
The backhaul allows each access point to take advantage of better speeds than pure wifi mesh. But most houses are not wired for this.

I'm in a 3 story, single family home. My router is in the basement, and the top floor still gets 300/300 on a gig connection. Router gets 800+/800+ as my standard speeds.

The Google/ nest setup is easy, fast, and the Google home app allows you to see what's connected to your system, and give priority to a TV or gaming PC, if you think you need it. As someone with 43 devices ranging from smart home bulbs, to TVs, and a gaming rig connected to the Google wifi, I find no need to give priority to anything. It's stupidly fast. You can even test the speed of individual devices to the mesh network via the wifi app.
