How to Cancel Google Wifi

I love how simple and easy this was to walk me through setting up the WiFi meshes. I doubted its ability to actually improve our internet but after running many tests it has undoubtedly improved our WiFi speed 7 times on a good day when compared to our old connection. Some rooms which were so shotty in the past now have amazing connection thanks to the meshes. As for the app. I love its ability to customize settings for the devices used, including prioritizing devices connection and testing individual speeds of all devices. One issue my MacBook always had was it kept telling me that another device kept occupying its IP. After painfully looking through Apple support and renewing the DHCP license constantly with no success I discovered I can give it a dedicated IP through the google WiFi device. Problem solved. Super helpful

Let's face it, there are lots of Parents who sit around on Friday evenings drinking Vodka and Sunny D because their spouses drank all the real orange juice. And, after a few Sunny D and Vodkas, lots of times that Parent will jump online to write a review or two. So, about this app, as we know, all Parents like to pretend that they are concerned about their kids screen time but in reality, they don't because the phone is like a freaking babysitter. I'm not one of those Parents, and I'm here to tell you that A) never mix Sunny D with anything, and B) this app will give you terrific control over your kids screen time. Pausing the internet is as easy as taping a button. You can also (sipping some vodka and sunny, hold on please).......... You can also schedule internet time so your 13 actually has to put the phone down. Get the app!

So our home is three levels on a steep hillside to give you an idea. Originally we operated with Apple AirPort Extreme (last version) on second level plus a 4th gen airport time capsule on the first floor network connected to the extreme. Unfortunately this was not an ideal solution and with apple exiting the product line we looked for the best alternative. Reviews directed us to orbi. We ran with the orbi solution for over three months. Almost daily failures/issues. Horrible tech assistance. Decided that we would ditch the orbi and replace with google. Wow, what a difference. Not one single issue. Provides consistent service throughout the house and even outside. No issues with neighboring WiFi systems affecting our system. An apple family thanks google for this awesome system.

I did a fair amount of research about devices like these prior to settling on the Google WiFi and I can say it exceeded my expectations. The reviews I read seemed to all concede that the mesh devices available on the market are all pretty solid but Google hit the nail on the head due to ease of setup. I made a mistake by placing one of the access points just a bit too far from the base station which made the app kind of wig out. Once I fixed my mistake and went back into setup it took all of 10 minutes to set up three. Setup is rather generous because you don’t really have to do anything you just keep clicking next and the app sets it all up for you. Anyone in a large home, or a moderate sized older home with tons of walls like myself, should get this. It’s truly an amazing product.

I’ve been using the Google WiFi app with my ASUS OnHub since Jan ‘18—first with Spectrum cable and now with my Google Fiber service—and it’s been fast and reliable despite my 25+ devices, simultaneous 4K streaming, and the crowded radio-signal environment of an apartment building. Side note: I’d definitely recommend the ASUS OnHub over the Google WiFi model for its better performance and range. I’ve only had a couple issues with the app. First, theres an issue where devices connected to the Guest WiFi network are shown as having a “wired” Ethernet connection or just inconsistently display whether a device is connected to the Guest network. This doesn’t appear to affect performance or functionality in any perceptible way, but it’s obviously wrong info (e.g. my iPad for guests shows as having a wired connection). My second issue is that the app doesn’t automatically update network information in real-time. I have to either restart the app or navigate to other parts of the app and then come back to get the latest network info.
