I have Fios with 300/300 service. I have one puck connected directly to the ONT box Verizon installs when they connect your service. That puck acts as my router and the others connect to it wirelessly to make a mesh network. Unfortunately I've been having a ton of dropouts in service and forget about watching Hulu via the Firestick. Hard to watch with the constant freezing or buffering.
I've been trying to fix this with Google support for about 4-5 months, maybe more. They even sent me a new one to use as the router and it's still bad. I ran a WIFI analyzer per their suggestion and noticed a problem. My area is flooded with free WIFI from various providers that you get when you sign up with them. Those signals are much stronger than mine. It seems like Google WIFI is sharing the same channels and is getting dwarfed, which then makes it freak out and cause the dropouts. The problem is that unlike other routers, I can't manually change the channel. The pucks are supposed to automatically pick the channel that is less crowded, thus making my network more stable, but that's not happening. Last week Google said they're pushing a new update that should fix this. Crossing my fingers this works. Otherwise I'm selling these and getting something else.

I have had Google Wifi (the ones sold here) for a few years and it's fine, nice even. I wouldn't be thrilled to pay $170 for them, today, given the older hardware compared to Eero 6 (not pro), which goes for a similar price and I think has some mesh advantages (if you're not using wired back haul). But if you need them and don't want Eero 6 (or Nest Wifi) for whatever reason, it's not a bad option.

Also, keep in mind that these have output jacks that you can use to plug directly into devices that could benefit fro that capability.
Also, no smart speaker (only in the node, not the router) which I found out the hard way.
