原文:Bought a new home and setup internet service. Didn't have a router so was looking to purchase one. Google WiFi works great. I have 100 Mbps service from my ISP. On WiFi using the 5 Ghz band, which Google WiFi chooses automatically (it chooses between 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz band, whichever signal is better
, providing you have BOTH bands available), I get full speed (speedtest.net shows 110 Mbps down, 6 mbps up) as if I was on a wired connection. I was surprised, because I thought I would get around 60-70 Mbps, not the full speed offered. I thought I would have to get a crazy expensive gaming router with 20 antennas that looks like Sauron's helmet from Lord of the Rings to get those speeds, but Google WiFi does that for $170 less and it has cool sci-fi-ish looks.Tips and advice:1. To get full WiFi speed, make sure your device (PC, laptop, tablet, phone, etc.) has both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz bands. If you don't you'll be stuck at around 30 Mbps to 70 Mbps.2. A SINGLE Google WiFi covers 1500 ft. Make sure you're within that range, or get more to create a mesh network so you fall within WiFi range. My home was 1300 ft. so I only needed one.3. The Google WiFi router only has two ethernet ports, one of which is used to connect to the modem. If you need more wired ports, buy an ethernet switch and connect the router to the switch.4. When WiFi first connects, it will likely connect you to the 2.4 Ghz band. Don't freak out. If you have a 5 Ghz band and the signal is good, it will connect you within 24 hours. It connected me to 2.4 Ghz band the first time I connected for a long while, but the next day when I started my PC again, it was now using the 5 Ghz band.

译文:买了一个新的房子,并开始设置互联网服务。没有路由器,所以想购买一台。 Google WiFi非常棒。我的ISP有100 Mbps的服务。在WiFi使用谷歌WiFi自动选择的5 Ghz频段(它选择2.4 Ghz或5 Ghz频段,无论哪个信号更好,都可以给你提供两个频段),我得到了全速的(speedtest.net显示110 Mbps下降, 6 mbps),就好像我使用有线连接一样。我很惊讶,因为我认为我的网速会在60-70 Mbps左右,而不是全速。我认为我必须购买一台具有20个天线的疯狂的昂贵游戏路由器,它看起来像是指环王的索伦头盔,以达到这种速度,但Google WiFi的售价只有170美元,而且它具有酷酷的科幻外观。
提示和建议:
1.要获得比较强的WiFi速度,请确保您的设备(PC,笔记本电脑,平板电脑,手机等)具有2.4 Ghz和5 Ghz频段。如果你不这样做,你会被限制在30 Mbps到70 Mbps左右。
2.单个Google WiFi可以覆盖1500英尺,请确保您在此范围内,或者获得更多创建网状网络以便您处于WiFi范围内。我家的范围是1300英尺,所以我只需要一个就行了。
3. Google WiFi路由器只有两个以太网端口,其中一个用于连接调制解调器。如果您需要更多有线端口,请购买以太网交换机并将路由器连接到交换机。
4.首次连接WiFi时,它可能会将您连接到2.4 Ghz频段。别被吓坏了。如果您有5 Ghz的频段并且信号良好的话,它会在24小时内与您联系。在我第一次连接了很长一段时间后,它将我与2.4 Ghz频段连接起来,但第二天当我再次启动我的电脑时,它使用的是5 Ghz频段。
