Anybody using the Google Wifi routers?

I currently have a NetGear Nighthawk R7000 that I am very happy with but I recently found out about a really bad NetGear vulnerability that is scaring me. Netgear Router: Critical Unfixed Vulnerability Permits Hacker Takeover | Fortune.com Besides the vulnerability, the R7000 is also kind of weak on my deck and in the garage. I could fix this with some range extenders but the Google kit come with three nodes that you can spread around for optimal coverage. If I am replacing the router why not go with a solution that solves both of my problems? On the downside, the Google kit is expensive (about $300 on Amazon) so I am very reluctant to just jump in.

Any of you folks using it? Thoughts?

I should have read more before asking my question. I had no idea how new this system is. None of y'all probably have it yet.

And I am seriously jelly if you do.

Your router costs more than the last computer I bought.

I am using the Nighthawk 7500. Looks like it is not affected by the vulnerability.

I'm not that surprised. There is a ton of really cheap gear out there since tablets are the new thing. Plus $300 for a router is kinda st00pid.

Humm... That one was available when I got mine but it was like BRAND new and too expensive to justify it. I think that there is a lesson to be learned somewhere in there...

Eh, we'll figure it out later.
