That router the cable company gave you when you signed up for their internet? Yeah, that thing sucks, which you’ve probably figured out by now from the glitchy signal, dead spots all over your house, and frequent reboots. A whole-house mesh system solves all of those problems, and Google’s AC1200 WiFi 3-pack creates a scalable, fast, reliable WiFi system over 4,500 square feet in size.
Years ago when home mesh WiFi systems were new, back when you should have ditched that router in the first place (sorry, couldn’t resist), they also carried a hefty price tag. That’s no longer the case, as evidenced by this $155 Amazon deal on the Google AC1200 3-pack. This super-fast system normally retails for $200, but it’s 23% off now, just in time for you to take a little bit of your Memorial Day Weekend free time and give your home WiFi a massive upgrade.
Bandwidth for Everyone
Nothing’s more frustrating than being in the middle of a streaming binge and suddenly having it brought to a screaming, buffering halt because somebody in the next room just jumped on the PlayStation to play some Helldivers 2 online with their friends. That’s one of the biggest downsides of the old-school router systems — there just never seems to be enough bandwidth to go around.
The Google AC1200 WiFi system us faster, stronger, and far more stable than hardwired setups, and it’s equally strong throughout the house when you spread the three Google WiFi points evenly — one on each floor, or on in the home theater or rec room and one near the bedrooms, for example. A heavy gaming session can take place at the same time as a 4K movie stream, a video call, and general browsing without anyone’s signal glitching out.
Ultimately Simple Setup
You can banish those nightmares of running wires and ripping up walls forever, and you can even skip the mild annoyance of needing to plan your setup around the location of cable jacks. The Google AC1200 WiFi system consists of a main Wifi point that replaces your router, and two other points that wirelessly extend the strong signal throughout the house. They only need to be placed near AC outlets.
Setting up the whole network is fast and easy and you’ll go from unboxing to creating 4,500 square feet of powerful WiFi within minutes. Use the Google Home app to guide yourself through the placement of the points and connection to the internet, and that’s it. The 2 extender points can be unplugged and moved anytime, and the system is scalable, so if you need even more coverage (the garage, maybe?), you can buy another point which will automatically join the network upon being plugged in.
It’s time to pack up that dinosaur router and say “thanks, but no thanks” to the cable company — head to Amazon and grab their hot deal on the Google AC1200 WiFi 3-pack while it’s on sale for just $155.
