Google WiFi has been designed to eliminate Wi-Fi black spots in your home and many users agree that it is highly effective.

Using a newer type of networking call “wireless mesh”, this technology intelligently manages how data is routed around the home to address the specific needs of individual user.

 

Google WiFi units come in boxes of three or one at a time. Each unit can be used as separate stand-alone router but they do not include any modem functionality and must be connected to a fibre or cable input, ADSL, or VDSL. Configuring Google WiFi is pretty straightforward using a dedicated app. You simply use your phone camera’s lens to scan a barcode on the first WiFi unit, plug it in and head to the Google Wi-Fi app to install it.

The app will take care of the rest and once complete, the light on the WiFi unit will turn to solid white, which means that everything is good to go.

 

Other WiFi units can then be installed in various parts of the home but they are no longer connected to any modem. In this way, they mimic but are not the same as WiFi extenders.
