I've only run into the google WIFI system at a customer once. Luckily it
wasn't interfering with the feed. Whenever a customer asks, I tell them
to get any system except for the google one.
But the guy at the store told them that they just needed to put a puck
in their steel outbuilding 1000' away from the house, and the WIFI would
work just fine out there. When the telephone was first invented, were
there these same problems? 'I nailed the crank phone on the wall of the
outhouse out back, but Martha can only hear me in the kitchen when I
yell into it, and then only when the kitchen window is open.'

Has anyone figured out a solution to interference with Google WiFi at
customers fed via 5 GHz?
We have found it to be an unsolvable problem due to:
1) Google does not let you set the frequencies
2) Google does not let you set the channel width (and therefore
presumably uses 80 MHz channels)
3) The mesh system presumably uses additional spectrum for the
backhaul between pucks
4) Most customers put in 3 of them, virtually guaranteeing at least 1
of them will be right near the dish to the tower
5) Many customers also figure they can put them in outbuildings to
get service to their shop, barn, etc. (one customer today intended to
put one in his wife’s “she-shed”)
With any other router we just set the channel to a U-NII-1 or DFS
channel. We have a fair amount of 3.65 GHz in our network and then it
isn’t a problem, but the majority is still 5 GHz.
