1. Basic information available on every wifi device, such as IP and number of devices connected, is not available without using Google cloud.
2. You cannot get any information about the router, network or connected devices without sharing the info with Google via the cloud.
3. I have just my Ring doorbell and 3 wireless cameras on the Google WiFi network and they all work well, even for streaming from remote locations.
4. Either way, that's not a Google WiFi problem beyond the fact I can't permanently keep the prioritization on one device.I have mixed feelings about Google Wifi.
5. Plus, if you have multiple Google accounts on your Android device, it will occasionally get confused, and try to connect with an account that is not associated with your network.
6. It also lacks some standard features that you might never need but if you do at some point it is mind boggling that they're not available, such as mac blocking.The router and associated app are just another source of data-mining for Google.
7. Why is that feature not in this app as well? Also, why does this app not have the same polished aesthetic as the Google Home app yet? Overall, Google WiFi does the job and I've never had a router with such an intuitive user-friendly interface.
8. Add VPN access, can't be that hard.. Be able to turn off 5ghz, so you can connect smart bulbs, switches etc.Over all, we enjoy the Google Wifi.
9. On one hand it is easy to set up, reliable, and has all you need for a very basic wifi network.
10. Needed features: I would love to be able to select a AP and see which devices are connected to it, currently you have to click on each device and see which one it's connected to.
11. However, it's frustrating that over half of the wireless devices connected to the network are shown as having a "wired connection," rather than indicating which hub they are connected to.
