Provided that you have a fast enough internet plan to keep up with it. So, the Deco S4 would definitely be a more sensible choice in terms of performance for more than a couple of people. What could you do with over 300 Mbps by comparison? Well, you could technically have 12 Ultra HD Netflix streams. In the same test, the S4 managed a speed of 317.27 Mbps. It really is a lot cheaper but it’s substantially faster. īut let’s take a look at that TP-Link offering once again, the Deco S4. When we reviewed 100 Mbps as a download speed, we found that it was enough for almost 4 4K Netflix streams. And actually, 87.76 Mbps will be enough for a couple of people or more. Of course, immensely fast internet speed isn’t what everyone is looking for. If that’s you, you might want to think about downgrading! This means most households will actually be compromising the speed of their own internet plan if they choose this system. That’s actually only just over half of the average download speed for the US as a whole. When we put the speed to the test from a distance of just 5ft away from the original router, it only managed to clock in 87.76 Mbps. The poor performance of Google Nest Wi-Fi is characterized by its download speed. Already, it feels dated compared to competitor systems. It seems a strange idea not to make it Wi-Fi 6 ready as this would have made it a lot faster. Wi-Fi Router: 110mm x 90.4mm Wi-Fi Point: 102.2mm x 87.2 mmĮven though the Nest Wi-Fi system is quite a low price, we have to mark it down quite heavily for its lack of performance. Stay with us as we reveal whether it managed to do that or not. This makes it very easy and enjoyable to use which a lot of people are going to like.īut it’s going to take more than a nice design to win us over. So why would you choose the Nest over the Deco S4? Well, there definitely are a few things to enjoy about it: it’s very sleek design-wise for both the hardware and the software that powers it.
By comparison, the TP-Link Deco S4 is quite a bit cheaper, but it’s also quite a lot faster. Google Nest Wi-Fi is a low price, but is the price low enough to justify the lack of performance from this thing? We’re not sure.
We’ll break down what that actually means very soon but let us just tell you for the time being: it ain’t quick. To find out how slow it really was, we tested the download speed from just 5ft away from the original router. Perhaps, this is the biggest flaw of this system. It has a real impact on the performance of the system and that isn’t the only issue. A lot of people are pretty disappointed about the fact that Google Nest Wi-Fi is not Wi-Fi 6 ready.
