Google Nest Wifi - 2 Pack is on sale at Bing Lee. This is $100 off the usual price (25%) and cheapest I've seen. I bought this at Officeworks for another 5% off at $284.05. The secondary wifi point also acts as a Google Nest Mini.

The reason why I bought this was to upgrade my old Google Wifi so that it could handle 1080p desktop mirroring on the Chromecast without buffering/stuttering. The reason why you would want this over a conventional router is if you had a large house or you have 60 smart home devices like me. Most conventional routers (even the $400 ones) can't handle more than 30 devices, you need a modern router like this to be able to handle more.

    Nice deal, I paid $399 for mine (RRP).

    Has ~50 devices connected, runs like a dream. Only down side is can't adjust things via a PC, must be done via Google Home or Google WiFi app (or BlueStacks, etc). Otherwise it's brilliant.

    • scuderiarmani on 30/12/2020 - 23:29

      Believe they've completely switched these only to Home App now.

      One less App I guess.

      At launch you had to use both, was clumsy, failed in set up despite working too.

      • sini180 on 31/12/2020 - 01:12

        Nope. I use the Google WiFi app as it's quicker. Home app you have to navigate to WiFi. Both work same way but Home just creates more steps.

  • Farrba on 30/12/2020 - 23:15

    can this be the main access point for my 3 old google wifis?

    • Twix on 30/12/2020 - 23:16

      You can mix and match.

      Nest Wifi router and points are also compatible with previous generation Google Wi-Fi devices

    • cheersvb on 04/01/2021 - 15:30

      I am currently using these with Gen1 and they work just fine.

    2 pack for $286 at TGG commercial.

    • NZ OZ Sam on 05/01/2021 - 17:07

      Not everyone can buy from TGG Commercial, isn't?

  • scuderiarmani on 30/12/2020 - 23:28

    'The reason why I bought this was to upgrade my old Google Wifi so that it could handle 1080p desktop mirroring on the Chromecast without buffering/stuttering'

    I've used both for an extended period. I doubt they'd make that much of a difference… They claim better coverage but in my experience it's negligible.

    • RichDad PoorSon on 31/12/2020 - 00:53

      can the same be said for PS Remote Play?

        If your coverage is reasonable through the house I can't see how each option will perform differently.

  • azukay on 30/12/2020 - 23:32

    Just be aware if you are a power user stay away, doesn't have basics like DDNS, static tables and DMZ…

    • Twix on 30/12/2020 - 23:42

      Also can't do VLAN 802.1q.

  • JoKing on 30/12/2020 - 23:39

    Would this be good for a 2-storey apartment? NBN box is upstairs and want to get a better Wi-Fi connection downstairs. So one unit plugs into my router and another goes downstairs to create the 'mesh'?

    • Twix on 30/12/2020 - 23:43

      Hook up the Nest wifi router to the NBN box and put the Nest wifi point downstairs. Who is your ISP?

      • JoKing on 31/12/2020 - 00:12

        I believe it's FTTP, will that matter? I am with iiNet. I didn't realise it would replace my current router.

        • Morien on 31/12/2020 - 00:33

          If it is FTTP then just connect it directly to the NTD.

        • Twix on 31/12/2020 - 13:15

          Nah FTTP is great stuff. A potential problem is that some iinet FTTP services are not compatible with Nest wifi and some are compatible. Were you connected to iinet FTTP before or after May 30th 2019?

          • JoKing on 31/12/2020 - 22:30

            @Twix: After. It’s a brand new apartment that was only connected this year.

            How do you determine if it’s compatible or not?

            • Twix on 31/12/2020 - 23:01

              @JoKing: The settings list says iinet require VLAN 802.1q for new FTTP services connected after May 30th 2019. Nest wifi doesn't have the settings for VLAN 802.1q and therefor is not compatible. Are you stuck in a iinet contract or willing to change ISP?

              • JoKing on 31/12/2020 - 23:51

                @Twix: Whaaattt, that is very silly. Nah, I'm on no contract, but they seemed to be decent value.

    • scuderiarmani on 30/12/2020 - 23:44

      Should be fine

      Try placing them directly underneath the other at first if possible.

      • JoKing on 31/12/2020 - 00:12

        Why is that? Any reason?

        • scuderiarmani on 31/12/2020 - 07:57

          In my experience a better mesh connection.

          Going diagonally through more walls can drop speed

          Though I go from ground to top. Unsure how they'll go in the reverse.

  • tpenthouse on 31/12/2020 - 00:50

    Any idea if this is better than the deco m5 or m9 mesh system (especially the m5 which is quite reasonably priced on amazon for about 188 for two)

    • LeVuHoang on 31/12/2020 - 01:26

      I’m after for this question too. I have 3 deco m5 setup as local access points for 06 wireless xiaofang cameras. Deco dropped connection/ping after few seconds.
      Have to return deco.

  • SuperBoi on 31/12/2020 - 01:57

    Is this any good for average gaming ?

    • scuderiarmani on 31/12/2020 - 07:59

      Gaming Routers aren't really relevant, especially in Australia.

      As long as their modern they'll basically do the same.

  • l o l on 31/12/2020 - 11:51

    Just got one for me and one for a friend, $284.05 each at Officeworks. Thanks OP.

    • NZ OZ Sam on 05/01/2021 - 17:15

      You might have been one of the first ones as they updated the price on their website to $299 so can't do price beat any more :(

      • l o l on 06/01/2021 - 23:08

        I expected them to do that, so I went the morning after I saw the post.

        Been burned at Bunnings before just because I waited until after lunch for a Nest Mini deal. Their labels were not even updated, and still didn't honour because "the system" already had a new lower price 😒

        • NZ OZ Sam on 07/01/2021 - 16:04
          +1

          Yeah, Bunnings is the best but their range of products is really small so that doesn't always help. The first thing I did after finding this deal was go on bunnings website and check if they sell this product..haha
