I'm considering purchasing a mesh network for my home. I noticed many routers in packs of three and how they link together. Are these devices compatible with each other? Can I connect a Google Mesh router to an ASUS Mesh router? They both have drivers available. Would it be possible to use the Google app to recognize it as a Google WiFi point? Also, could you create a video demonstrating this setup?

They might collaborate based on the agreed protocol, but I wouldn't depend on it. It's better to stick with one vendor and probably one product line.

They aren't compatible across systems. They won't integrate well together. I'm puzzled about the idea of drivers being needed. The Google, Eero, or Velop apps don't actually load drivers—they communicate with the router through the app, which only interacts with the specific branded device. I suggest using the Google Wi-Fi setup; it's straightforward, performs well, and offers excellent value for its quality.
