I'm thinking about getting it for my house. I'm not sure I need all three access points but I'm gonna use them.
Anyone here care to offer any reviews?

We built our house a few years back and didn't wire it for internet like idiots. I didn't think I'd ever be able to put together decent wifi but I got Google Wifi and I swear, have never looked back. It's amazing. Really easy to hook up and it shoots any worth-a-shite network you think you might be able to build into the next century.
I ended up having to get a 4th access point to get it over my garage but I have never had any issues. I'm running 50+ Mbps all over the house at all times. Before that, with just my Uverse router plus a Netgear wifi extender it wasn't worth a shite.

I have it and it's just about the best thing out there for "tech equipment" as it gets.
i also didn't think i would necessarily "need" the access points until we built our new house and everything runs smooth. before, buffering would occur if multiple people were on wifi.
i actually tested it the other day and was playing a youtube video on laptop, streaming netflix in living room and watch espn in outdoor kitchen. never had a buffering issue and all was high quality HD. this is also just from cox's basic package that goes up to 15mbps or something like that.

We have it......definitely worth the $300. Took about 10 minutes to set up and gets you full strength anywhere in the house.

I got this about 2 months ago. I have 3200 square feet in 2 stories so I've struggled with decent wifi signal since I moved in.
I set up the three access points in a kind of Z shaped pattern with the main access point upstairs and the remaining two downstairs.
I went from an average download speed of around 12 to 17 mbps downstairs to an average of 184 mbps the last 60 days downstairs including the garage and the back yard.
Upstairs went from an average of 61 to 69 mbps to an average of 191 mbps.
My plan is a 200 mbps.

Yes. I love it. If you can afford it, get it.
BUT -- as with all interent products, you need to make sure all three requirements are worth it: your plan, your modem, and your router. So make sure your modem can can handle your plan, otherwise you won't be getting as good as speed as you'd like.
For instance, I have a 100mb plan but my current modem (through the company) sucks. I have Google WiFi and i get about 70 mbps through it (before I was getting 15-20)
I have an Arris Surfboard that I left with my roommate while he was still in our old house. When I swing through BR this month I am going to pick it up and I firmly believe I'll be getting even better speeds.
