Home Wi-Fi question

How should I place mesh Wi-Fi points around my home?

Questions with the same meaning and scope are grouped here; questions with different scope stay separate.

Quick answer

Current answer

Each Nest Wifi Pro device you add after the first is considered a mesh point . To provide expanded Wi-Fi coverage, the connection between each point needs to be strong. Make sure the router and points are evenly spread out, but not too far from each other.
