SO google wifi:

Can I keep my existing routers and just use the pucks as a mesh wifi network?

IF YOU LIKE YOUR ROUTER, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR ROUTER!!!

Yes- you plug the main one into the router and it figured everything else out. It's pretty amazing.

to be sure, plugged into a pre-existing router, not a modem, correct? did it create a separate network (i.e. still uses its own router) or function as an access point(s)??

My modem is a router, so my answer is "i guess so".

You may have to turn off DHCP or turn on bridge mode or something, but it will extend your network no problem.

I work from my house so I constantly have headphones on. Either for work calls or more often listening to erotica podcasts.

But recently got Airpods and they're really really fucking awesome. Highly recommend.
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

Just an LED with a big bezel. Buy an OLED instead.

It's a tv with a motion activated screen saver? If it went into a low/no power matte e-ink mode or something I'd be more impressed but I'm just not getting it

it's a fairly simple concept, one that I've been pining for for a while, but for some reason it took 15 years to put out. right now the price is a bit stupid (2K for the 55er) but I suspect it'll come down once competitors start copying it.

Seems like you could accomplish the same thing with one of those $500 tcl 4K tvs and a raspberry pi

they aren't framed, so they don't look like framed art would be the big difference, if I had to speculate.
