Google WiFi 3-packs are on sale for $60 off at Amazon
The router market is a war zone.
Each brand has infinite models, and trying to compare devices with 10-digit long names and four antennas gets old fast. There’s a much simpler way, guys:
Google WiFi. That’s it. That’s the name.
Arguably the prettiest setup on the market, the Google WiFi system offers the ease that you thought was impossible. Three packs are on sale for $60 off at Amazon today — grab one and see what you’ve been missing.
Google WiFi replaces your old, shitty router system and syncs with your modem and ISP to create a mesh network. First used in large-scale operations like hospitals, military bases, and even in the aftermath of hurricanes when the internet was down, mesh systems work on radio signals and ride on the connection of their sister devices to amp each other up.
While your current router is probably the only access point and gets overwhelmed quickly, each device in a mesh network talks to the others and that strengthens the signals — creating extremely strong WiFi coverage. The more nodes you have, the stronger the connection (up to 5 GHz). Mashable’s review claims that it’s the easiest, cheapest way to fix bad WiFi.
Obviously, Google isn’t the only company offering a mesh device — it’s just the best one. Setup isn’t a huge undertaking, MU-MIMO is used to keep everyone on the quickest path, and connection and controls can be monitored on the app. All of that is packed into an adorable hockey puck device that’ll blend right in with any home’s decor.
See the simplification in action:
Regularly $299.99, you can save $60 and grab a set of three for $239.99.
