My router is old as crap. I bought it when we first got set up with FIOS. You could purchase or rent the router, so I purchased. Now its old. Need to get a new one. We are paying for 150/150 but usually are getting about 50/50. I suspect the router is the culprit.

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've been keeping my eye on it, been on the waiting list for a while though.

I would agree with you. If I understand FiOS right (I can't get it so I only have hearsay knowledge), that thing is an all-in-one setup so your modem, hub and router are all in that same box. If it is a few years old, you are in the same boat I was - 100 mbps limits. You will never get the 150 mbps service you are paying for if you don't bump up to gigabit (1000 mbps) equipment.

My service is at 200 mbps down but my old modem topped out with a 100 mbps uplink to my router. My new modem has a 1000 mbps uplink and is compatible with gigabit Internet (if Comcast is ever able to offer it in my area). It can handle the 200 mbps service without breaking a sweat and it shows. I am genuinely surprised at how much faster it is - the increase isn't just academic. Everything responds faster.

Three to four out my way. Just enough to feel it but it wasn't any fun.
