Enjoy a consistent connection to the web with this Google Wi-Fi setup. The single access point is ideal for use in smaller homes of less than 1,500 square feet, giving you the ability to connect your tablets, laptops or phones. This Google Wi-Fi system provides a reliable signal that can be shared by multiple devices at once.

Great for small spaces, or add-on to existing mesh

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this as an add-on to an existing WiFi Mesh setup for better coverage. It could work equally well as a single AP.

Create a reliable internet connection throughout your home with this Google Wi-Fi system. The convenient package of three connectivity points effortlessly covers even large homes up to 4,500 square feet. This Google Wi-Fi system eliminates uneven bandwidth usage among multiple devices, including cellphones and tablets, for an unimpeded connection that doesn't lag behind.

Great consumer WiFi solution with minor glitches

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a great consumer WiFI solution, it is. It's easy to setup, and painfree to maintain, provides a nice real-time view of all device traffic with history from 1day, 7day, 30day etc which I've found useful.
I've had a few hiccups, adding new mesh AP's for example requires that you physically unplug any other wired AP's -- doesn't make sense. The status of Wired WiFi, vs Mesh WiFi, vs WiFi (3 discretely separate statuses reported on my app) is a bit confusing as well.
It's lacking 3x3 or 4x4 spatial stream support, and it could be a little faster.

Stream favorite shows and movies with the Roku Premiere+. It handles 4K resolution so you get the most out of your high-end television, and it includes access to more than 4500 channels for varied subscription options. The Roku Premiere+ comes with a remote so you can browse entertainment options from your couch.

Fast, Fully Featured, No reason to go to the Ultra

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have several Roku's in my home now. The original express, which is now in the junk drawer b/c it's too slow, the Roku 3, which is still pretty solid, then the Roku Premier+, and the Ultra. The best value, for me, is the +.
Comparing the + to the Ultra:
I see no advantage to the audio search function of the Ultra, b/c it works at the top-level menu, not app-specific (I can't be in the Netflix app and then use voice search for something IN netflix only). The remote finder feature (Ultra) is silly (to me), and the game control buttons (Ultra) are still unused & I have a 7yo.

Meanwhile, the + does absolutely everything we want, it's fast, resolution looks great, and in combo with the Roku app where you can choose private listening & pair your BT headset with your phone, it's the perfect solution.
We like the chromecast a lot too, but for the visiting parents who really need that tactile feedback, the remote works great & it's simple.
