Finally replaced my network

Last summer, a storm took out my home network. The network wasn't exactly new, and had been in service for a while. I rant to Walmart and picked up a cheap network device (two, actually) and was back up and running the same day. But, it was an inferior setup.

Okay, it was not all that bad, as it took me 14 months to replace it. For that year and change, it worked fine. But, it wasn't as good as it could have been.

The old network was great. It was an older Google Home network. It worked well. Very well, in fact. I have an older house (built in 1954). The way it's laid out, and where all I want wireless, can be challenging. The Linksys network (the temporary, but over a year in service network) did well, but not as well as my older Google Home network. And just a few days ago, I finally replaced the Linksys with a new Google Net Pro network.

I really have to give Google credit for making the network setup really really easy. Don't get me wrong, I've set up many networks over the years. Setting up a network is something I'm very capable of doing. But just because I can do all the tedious things involved doesn't mean I want to do those things. I like simplicity. And setting up the Google Nest Pro network using the Google Home app was easy. I like easy. I can do hard, but I really prefer easy.

I'm paying for the Comcast Xfinity cheap plan. It's 75 Mbps and plenty fast enough for streaming. And I get that as well.

I am happy with the speed I'm getting, and the 35 ms latency isn't bad. I don't do online gaming, so it's not that big of a deal, but that is good enough for most gaming.

My network speed is good. My network is strong. My Streaming Life is good.
