First time poster - be gentle.
$49 cheaper than the Amazon AU deal.
Cheaper than anywhere else that I have seen.
Two Ethernet ports support 1 Gbps wired speeds per router
Nest Wifi Pro (Wi-Fi 6E) cannot be combined in a mesh network with previous-generation Nest Wifi or Google Wifi routers or points
Dont know, but debating whether to remain with google for my mesh (I have two sets here to get enough coverage and a metric shit ton of devices, and theres at least one room that still drops out)
Indeed. Got 4x gen 1 Google Wifi. How much do they sell for?
Lol I gave away 3 on my local buy nothing page.
Horrible product, tied to a Google account, tied to the app, very barebones feature set
What does the tech community think of these? I'm on ubiquity dream machine (non wifi 6) device. Worth an upgrade?
How have you enjoyed your experience? I'd like to move to a Ubiquity set up, and I find for many tech focused people it's the ecosystem to have.
It does seem some of their devices are slower to move to new standards though.
I like it just missing the mesh and don't want add wifi access point that needs a cat5 cable and Poe in the house.
@Twix: Ok. Does this work without cable? Just POE ?

@MrBillions: Yeah you need PoE. Watch these clips.

@Twix: Great…but I still have an ugly disk that I don't want to mount into the plaster/wall. If they had something I could sit on a table or desk that would be perfect.
@MrBillions: Lookup the Ubiquiti UniFi U6 Mesh WiFi 6 Access Point.
Nest Wi-Fi won't do any of the more advanced stuff that Ubiquiti does. Asus ZenWifi only requires a power brick and can do the more advanced stuff like Ubiquiti.
Agree with you. Will return it. Was just such a good deal…
Do you think officeworks would price match?
some do they say
Interesting
I bought mine last Friday from them….so now I wonder what my options are.
See if they will refund the difference of the cheaper price
Orrr return it as change of mind and re buy it (bit of admin of their side)
Or see if someany stores are going nuts on Cyber Monday and see if we can get a price match then (with the above steps)
As in, confirmed, you've done it?
It has been confirmed by a staff member @zoominguy
Just got it from Officeworks. No issue to beat Costco.
Same, good deal!
Gen 1 was a disgrace - too scarred from that to try these now
Hopefully better then the old nest wifi, I have to restart my network every couple of days or it shiows right down and eventually drops out.
Anyone know if this would be in store? And or cheaper in store?
Generally the store would be cheaper as online includes shipping costs
Ended up doing the price beat at officeworks
I tried JB on their chat and asked for their best deal on a 3-pack. They made it $419 and shared the link to place order. If you really need one, am sure its worth a try!
Is that a link that is sharable? Or unique link to one order.
I think a lot depends on who is on the other side. This link is expired now but I am sure they'll be able to check it. Its for $419 for 3 pack Nest wifi pro. You can ask them to check this and price match with their own offer. All the best.
Mod: Removed link
I think link posting is not available in ozb. It uncommented my link.
Limited to 1 order only. They can share the link but can't use it after you have (or vice versa).
LOL just got offered …. $489.
Lol YMMV
Yeah.. oh well. I didnt really need it.
@theguyrules: Officeworks PBG would be $418
I'm sure you could try again and hope to get a different rep for the $419 price
Can you please share the receipt
Office works $417.99 price beat Costco…you beauty…got one
Link please
No link. You go in store. Find a teenager…he goes behind the counter with your phone and then says computer says "yes". Manager about the same age signs off. Done.
There seems to be a pro version?
This is the pro version
Standard version is $250
No go for me on the price match with Costco, membership based pricing, rep said no
Speak to a manger or go to a different store, that's a load of shit. They obviously don't know how to do their job properly.
got the price match $418 - Officeworks Wetherill Park - NSW.
So many success stories!
Anyone care to share a receipt for me please :)))) 🙏
I bought last week at a higher price from officeworks. Went yesterday at officework, and they beat the costco price and issued me refund of the difference without any fuss.
Amazing - which store?
I will try this with another store today
Officeworks at North Lakes in QLD. Infact. I got the refund twice after purchase. Firstly price dropped from $535 to $499 and then $440 with costco.
I just called up Officeworks and they were able to refund me for the old price I purchased the Nest wifi 3 pack back to my card (Good win as I paid via gift cards) then reprocessed the purchase at the new Costco PBG price of $417.99.
Good win :) Thanks everyone.
If anyone bought a 3-pack and doesn't need all 3, I'm keen to buy the spare(s) off you at a fair price.
What to do with the old ones 🤔
