RBK852 New Owner - so far so good (Nest, Amazon Echo/Fires, Ring, August etc) with Google Fiber

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

How are your NEST connected to your A/C system? Use the C wire or no? 

Just curious, what is the distance in between the NEST controllers and the RBR and RBS? 

Glad it working well for you.

Just received my RBK852 and after updating to firmware 4.6.3.9 I've gone through the somewhat tedious task of remapping my WiFi devices that were on separate 2.4/5Ghz WiFi SSIDs to a single Mesh WiFi SSID. While I was a little concerned based on comments in this forum and elsewhere around compatability with the combined SSID so far everything has connected without issues including:

 

Amazon Fire TV (various versions) x 5

Amazon Echo Dots (various versions) x 15

Amazon Echo Spot x 1

Amazon Echo

August SmartLock Wifi x 3

Nest Smart Thermostat 2nd gen x 3

Ring Floodlight Cam x 2

Ring Spot Cam x 3

iPhones

iPads

Dell XPS 13

Apple Mac Mini

 

My RBR850 is connected to my Google Fiber Jack (so no Google Network Box) and I have a 1Gbps plan. A Speed Test from within the web app shows 836 Mbps download and a 943 Mbps upload at 9:30pm.

My RBS850 is connected via a wire.

 

I have around 45 devices connected so far with a few more to do. I had previously used 3 netgear router/accesspoints with DD-WRT so the web application is taking a bit of getting used to, but things so far seem to be working.

 

I'm still working through the Advanced Settings and checking on devices and WiFi coverage, but a promising start.
