Invoering

The Google Wifi AC1200 Mesh WiFi System is designed to provide fast, reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout your entire home. This system works by creating a mesh network, where multiple Google Wifi points collaborate to eliminate buffering and extend connectivity to every corner of your living space. It is a scalable solution, allowing you to add more Wifi points as needed to expand coverage. This manual provides essential information for setting up, operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting your Google Wifi system.

For optimal performance, home size, materials, and layout can affect Wi-Fi signal travel. Larger homes or homes with thicker walls or long, narrow layouts may need extra Wifi points for full coverage. Strength and speed of signal will depend on your internet provider.
