IDK. $300 for a Wifi 5 Mesh System with no wired backhaul, no Ethernet ports on the AP's, limited admin dashboard features, etc. doesn't seem like a great deal to me.

I really wish Costco sells router combo packs like Amazon does. If you read/watch the reviews, you will notice feedback that the wifi points provide lower speeds. Also, the other important thing to note and compared to the gen 1 Google wifi is that the points do not have ethernet ports and can act only as access points.
·
No need to return it back at Costco, just keep it then go to Customer Service desk with your receipt on Aug 5 and ask for the price difference. They give you 30 days from purchase.

Yes overkill by a lot. And don't do that. If you have too many pucks overlap too much then your device might switch between them too often and cause slow downs. Best set them at least 20 feet apart.
I ran the test mesh feature from time to time, most it would tell me the mesh was good but there were a few time it said it could be better if I moved the pluck closer. I placed the 3 in 3 separate rooms. I was planning adding to one for each room...anyway thanks

I bought both DecoM9 Plus as well as Google Nest Wifi. Since, Deco M9 is a tri-band router, I wanted to test that first. It works superbly for my needs. But, the main Deco M9 unit that's connected to my modem is getting extremely hot. Is that known? It was so hot that I fear it may burn my unit. Can someone with Deco M9 Plus give inputs about the heat issues on these units?
I have the deco M9 plus and have the same issue. They run hot but apparently that's normal, which seems like a major manufacturing flaw. Doubt any electronic running that hot will last past a couple of years with no means of internal cooling

Does this offer superior performance over the Deco M5?

My ATT 1G internet is giving out 650mbps (down and 400 up) in my living room. i am getting about 150 mbps anywhere else, be it office room, bedroom or game room which is difficult running many devices. I purchased this unit yesterday as it was $100 off at costco, made all the connections and when i tested with the google nest wifi router it is showing a download of 600mbps at the router and the speed at the end points (3 of them) is less that what i was getting with the att router. I talked to the google customer support and they told me to change few things like bridge mode, IP pass through on the att router. asked me to install aiport utility app and i provided them with the diagnostic report, status report and wifi traffic report nothing helped. This was utter useless and waste of time.

Currently using TP-Link Google OnHub in a mesh configuration (4 units). In my old house I had an ethernet backbone for the main/farthest point. Current house I'm forced to go totally wireless (finished basement, but I keep thinking about seeing what I can do in the attic). I keep getting drops throughout the day, so thought I'd see if this offers an improvement. Like the prior post, I'm also on AT&T gigabit ethernet, so I hope I get better performance than he noted. BTW, ordered Monday with a 2-4 week estimate - being delivery Wednesday!

I'm using the original google mesh setup with 16 hubs. 4 of them in a large out building that is ran back to the main with a cat 5 since it is 400' away from my main home. It's been up and running since walmart had them for $99 for a three pack, which was 3 or 4 months ago. Absolutely rock solid and fast internet. I'm so happy to be done with nighthawk crap

The fact you can have a call back via cat 5 is amazing.
How did you extend your network via Cat5? I've got 5 of the OG pucks and would like to extend my coverage to an outbuilding as well. Can't reach it with the mesh, need to use my cat5.. but as far as I can tell, you can't use the AC1200's as wired access points?

Yes you can, the Google Gen1's can function as Router and AP with 2 ethernet ports each.

When looking at performance, there is more than range and speed. For a few years, I have used a linksys mesh system and I recently began to use these google nests. I stream about 4 TVs at 4K and probably have around 15 other devices on my network. At 40 feet from the router, the linksys tests at about twice the speed of the nest, but sometimes the nest seems quicker and has less buffering. This lead me to look at ping where they both have about the same unloaded value but the nest has a loaded value about one third of the linksys. If you have a loaded network that has applications that depend upon a quick response, you may want to consider the nest.

Just run a Cat5/Cat6 between any puck inside your main building and the one at your outbuilding. It's called ethernet backhaul. I'm 100% OG, so I'm not sure if the new nest ones will communicate. I'd be really surprised if they didn't since the software appears to be the same.

I would recommend running the cat 5 back to the main puck, as this will prevent the data from having to be transmitted through multiple pucks on the info relay from the outbuilding.

Once you run a cat 5, they will appear as "Wired Wifi Point" instead of "Mesh Wifi Point" in the google wifi app.

I have 81 devices in my house that are connected, and 21 in the outbuilding and the system handles it without issue.

There is deal on Eero 3 set at Bestbuy with Echo Show 5 and Dot for $199.

https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/fp/582164

Both Google and Eero are Dual band.

Does this one seem a better deal or Eero?
Any suggestions
I bought the eero deal at BBY (great deal with the Echo Show) and while I did get better coverage (wifi strength) throughout the house, I experienced slower speeds in half the rooms. I returned it and BBY gave me no issues, were nice about it. I like eero better due to the wired connection availability but alas, no go.
Costco has a generous return policy as well so try both (as many forumers have done) and see which works better!

Thanks.. I tried it and it worked like a champ. i had been reading that using the OG pucks w/ mesh wouldn't work with using them as Access points. Plugged it in and you're correct.. it simply showed up as another 'wired' device. thanks for the tip!

I replaced an Orbi RKB40 and 2 satellites with this system. I have AT&T fiber that usually runs at 398mbs. With the nest it is slightly slower, say 361mbs. However, as John says, things seem to run quicker with less dropouts. We have 8 Wyze cameras. They seem to operate much better on the Nest. In addition to the cameras, we have 29 other devices running. Things just seem smoother in general. The Google assistant seems to respond faster as well.
Another plus, Google has updated the Home app just yesterday with the options that were available only in the Google Wifi app, so now only one app is needed for the system.

Installed mine to compare it against my OnHub mesh system. Huge improvement at the hub wired. Some decent wireless improvements, but it wasn't an issue previously. I don't think worth $300. I'm going to run Ethernet for the backhaul and see how my OnHub improves. And I also ordered the Deco X60 and will evaluate it with the Ethernet when it arrives.
Tempted by the Orbi RBK50, but adding a second satellite is crazy expensive (if I need it).
Obviously I enjoy an occasional tech project to occupy my time. Getting occasional dropouts on my OnHub - if ethernet eliminates this I might just do nothing for now - unless the X60 blows me away.

First is OnHub, second is Nest.
Hub(wired): 517 / 953
Hub (wireless): 241 / 259
Node (same floor): 80 / 127
In Between hub/node: 123 / 210
Basement node: 120 / 133
