Re: Hub2ac or Hub3?
I have the Netgear Wireless AC 1750 and it's utter crap for wireless signals so not everything 3rd party is better than the hub 3

Re: Hub2ac or Hub3?
I installed the Hub 3 yesterday morning. None of my Google Nest mini's or Smart Life plugs would connect onto wifi. After many reboots I managed to get each one on wifi. Overnight my Nest thermostat went offline, smart plugs lost wifi, Youtube on V6 kept sticking on loading videos, even though it is wired.
I called faults, the guy i spoke to said I have too many devices and would experience lag.
Hub 2ac never struggled as bad as this new Hub3 until the wifi failed on it.

Re: Hub2ac or Hub3?
I've got a Hub2ac connected to Google Mesh wifi, and it's rock solid.

Re: Hub2ac or Hub3?
Thanks everyone, I'm going to buy Google Nest Wifi. Hub3 should be fine in modem mode?
