Just launched? I've had Google Wifi for about 3 years. It's not bad; easy to use, bit pricey, needs restarting from time to time (which you do via the app, no need to go round turning them all off and on again).

This is the new Gen 2 though so hopefully fixes a few of the bugs from before.

BT WholeHome is brilliant as well as being reliable and idiot proof.
Cheers,

I plugged in some netgear Wi-Fi 6 mesh devices and have touched it in 12 months other than to get her kids off devices (you can block individual devices on the app). 4K streaming all over the (old, 4 storey, 400m2) house and a strong, stable connection during homeschooling earned me beaucoup brownie points! 😂
Cheers,

Ian

What’s the difference between the mini (£110) and the ‘normal’ one for £199

If anyone is interested - I have an unused BT SmartHub2 (broadband as opposed to fibre version) - no discs, but obviously ready to connect to them…

AC1200 vs AC2700 and some different control options. Practically I don't know what that means but I'm happy with the minis for all the streaming to TVs, phones, tablets and laptops that we do at home. Seems to happily download stuff onto a laptop at around the maximum 3MB/s my internet supports.
