About this deal

Poor placement and larger homes or homes with thicker walls or long, narrow layouts may need extra Wi-Fi points for full coverage. Nest's lack of Wi-Fi 6 support might give you legitimate pause if you want something future-proofed, especially given that Wi-Fi 6 will only grow more and more relevant as more devices continue to adopt it. For those that are deeply enmeshed into a smart home setup with connected lights and appliances galore, the Nest Wifi aims to bring all of that together along with your Wi-Fi network within a single app. Most Matter devices can be set up in just a few taps, and Matter’s local connectivity makes your devices more responsive, reliable, and secure.

Granted, speeds still varied in some areas further from the router or Point, but they were never poor. This is especially impressive considering that our review unit only includes a single router and Point device, compared to the three router/points included in our Google Wifi setup. But, it does finally integrate Google Home into the experience for a 2-in-1 device that can sit at the center of your smart home. Devices that aren’t Wi-Fi 6E compatible will still work with Nest Wifi Pro, they just won’t be able to access the 6 GHz band. With stout, cylindrical devices that pair together wirelessly, the Google Wifi and Nest Wifi both take the same basic approach to design -- but that doesn't mean that Google didn't spruce things up for generation 2.

If you've already got a Nest Wifi router and you want to extend its range to a back room in your house, you can save a little money and get the job done with a Google Wifi Point instead of a Nest Wifi Point.

Likewise, Google’s Nest Wifi three-pack can cover a wider area – as much as 5,400 square feet (502 sq meters). This means you can continue using your Google Wifi routers alongside a Nest Wifi router or even add a Point to your existing Google Wifi setup. If you need access to functions like port forwarding or some such, you better go for a more traditional model from the likes of Linksys or Netgear. With three years of development separating them, the Google Wifi and Nest Wifi come with different hardware capabilities. Interest will be charged to your account from the purchase date if the promotional balance is not paid in full within 6 months.Aside from looking good, the Nest Wifi also offers features you won’t find on a typical router, such as built-in Google Assistant functionality on its extension units. It won't be quite as fast, but it'll save you a few bucks, and might be the way to go if you aren't interested in the Google Assistant voice controls that come with Nest Wifi Points. Poor placement and larger homes or homes with thicker walls or long, narrow layouts may need extra Wifi points for full coverage.

Wi-Fi 6E is upgraded Wi-Fi technology that gives enabled devices direct access to the new 6 GHz band. My home, a skinny, little shotgun-style house in Louisville, Kentucky, is only about 1,300 total square feet, but it still has its dead zones -- particularly, a back bathroom located at the very rear of the house. We’ve updated this review to make mention pricing changes, newer hardware available, a rumored new model, and a few other tweaks.If you own one of the best smart displays like the Nest Hub or Nest Hub Max, you can als

If you're setting up a brand new network and haven't previously set up any Wifi devices, follow the steps to set up Nest Wifi. One other quibble: The router only includes a single spare Ethernet jack, and there aren't any Ethernet jacks on the Points at all. For the strongest signal, place your router at eye level in plain view, like on a shelf or TV stand. My priority is getting max internet speed in the office, but by the time the office computer connects via wifi to the office Point, speed is massively lower than is coming into the house. Eero, on the other hand, offers three identical devices, any one of which can serve as the system's router.Nest Wifi Pro (Wi-Fi 6E) can't be combined with Nest Wifi routers or points or Google Wifi points (Wi-Fi 5) in a mesh network. With the mesh kicked in, each system's speeds were much faster at range, including average speeds of well over 100Mbps in that back bathroom from all three.
