Old review: I have Google Fiber 2 Gig Service. I had their Google Fiber Multi-gig Router with 1 range extender in a 1,500sqft home. After over a year of using that system I had enough. It doesn’t play well with multiple devices, for example 2 Alexa’s playing the same song simultaneously never lasts long as I cannot set the Google Multi-gig router to stream to multiple devices optimally. I decided the mesh setup might be good for a house double my size, so I wanted to at least buy a Wi-Fi router that has mesh capabilities in the future which lead me to the Tplink AX6600/Archer AX90.
Setup was simple and it actually lead me to have Google Fiber install a small modem instead of the giant old Google Multi-gig router that you will see the new small modem on the wall in the picture I uploaded.
The Wi-Fi can now handle me being on a Zoom call while my wife games or streams a work out video, etc… without the Zoom call lagging, and all of the Alexa’s work flawlessly with the OFDMA setting enabled so I can listen to music in the whole house without the Alexa’s turning off randomly while others still play. My wife even said playing call of duty is crisp and flawless.
If I move into a larger house I will look into pairing this with a Tplink AX3000 Wi-Fi Extender (but they have 2 versions) to extend the signal to a second floor or larger foot print house.
Update: Does not play well with 38 devices in my house. Constantly loses connection with smart bulbs, Alexa’s and conference calls go bad at times. I upgraded to a $550 ASUS router and now everything works flawlessly.

Works better then Google Mesh on 1,500sqft House
