First off, it's very important to remember that your devices can only connect to one band at a time, so those combined-band speed ratings are a bit misleading. That's a notable jump from the original Nest Wifi, which is an AC2200 system promising combined-band speeds of up to 2.2Gbps. The Nest Wifi Pro capitalizes on this, with an AXE5400 build that promises to offer combined speeds from all three of its bands of up to 5.4 gigabits per second (5,400Mbps). With enough space to support several full-width, 160MHz channels at once, it's a much wider swath of bandwidth than 2.4 or 5GHz, and it offers faster top speeds than other bands, too. The headline here is obviously Wi-Fi 6E, with radios in each Nest Wifi Pro device designed to send signals in the 6GHz band.

There are no built-in Google Assistant smart speakers this time around, but Nest Wifi Pro does add in faster speeds, a tri-band build and full support for Wi-Fi 6E, which opens up access to a mass of mostly untouched bandwidth in the 6GHz band. Introduced alongside the Pixel Watch and Pixel 7 smart phones at the latest Made by Google event, the Nest Wifi Pro mesh router follows the same basic playbook as the original Nest Wifi with a unique design that eschews antennas and flashing lights in favor of a more minimalistic approach that's made to blend in with modern decor. ![]() Price: $169 (router), $269 (router and one extender), $349 (router and two extenders) Memory: 1GB RAM, 4GB flash (router) 768MB RAM, 512MB flash (extender)Įthernet jacks: Two (router) zero (extender)ĭimensions (WHD): 4.33 x 3.56 x 4.33 inches (router) 4.02 x 3.43 x 4.02 inches (extender)īuilt-in smart speakers: No (router) yes (extenders)Ĭolors: Snow (router) snow, mist, sand (extender) Processor: Quad-core 64-bit ARM CPU 1.4GHz ![]() Range: 2,200 square feet (router) 1,600 square feet (extender) You'll be spreading the Google Assistant's footprint throughout your home, too, as each extender features a built-in smart speaker that lets you play music, hear the day's weather forecast or control your smart home devices with a simple voice command. You'll start by connecting the router to your modem - from there, you'll wirelessly connect the extenders (or "Points," as Nest terms them) to spread a stronger, faster Wi-Fi signal throughout your home. The system features separate router and extender devices. Three years after it was first released, the Nest Wifi mesh router remains a solid choice to run your home network, though the lack of support for Wi-Fi 6 makes it somewhat dated at this point.
