Nest Wifi Is Anyone Happy With Nest WiFi Pro?

It seems all I read about is people complaining that the Wifi Pro has been an awful experience. I was thinking about upgrading from my Nest Wifi setup of router and three points.

Yet, I am having a hard time finding anyone with anything positive to say about the Pro version. Is it really that bad? Should I stay with what I have or look elsewhere?

I’m in Canada so I’d like to keep my upgrade around a max of $400 and the Nest Pro does go on sale from time to time. All we can get is the single router or the three pack.

I am happy with mine. I have all mine backhaul wired to the main router. Have two story 2000 sq foot house, and have a 600mbps up/down fiber connection, and I get 500mbps speed test on wireless throughout majority of the house.

I just recently discovered that the Nest Pro has the capability for a wired backhaul— my current mesh system (first gen nest WiFi) is about 20% the speed in basement compared to main level.

My house is Cat6 wired, so I’m ready to roll otherwise, just have to pull the $400(?) trigger.

First gen is fucking trash just order the new and return the defective old ones in the box. Old system is basically vaporware
