Google - Nest Wifi Router+Point Bundle

Product Information

You can view the devices connected to it and group them together, then pause the connection to those devices at any time you like, including with a quick voice command. That said, you can often find the Nest Wifi on sale for much less, so it's still worth considering as a budget option.

Google marked the occasion with a brand new design, faster top speeds, and the addition of Google Assistant voice controls in each each Nest Wifi Point. If you'd like to add another Wi-Fi device, tap Yes in the app to continue or follow the steps to add an additional point or router at a later time.Once you've added all of your Wi-Fi devices, the app will perform a mesh test to confirm that everything is working. Close as it was, Nest's network seemed a little more robust than the others, with an average upload speed of 229Mbps throughout the home compared to 166Mbps and 169Mbps for Eero and Netgear, respectively. Google recommends adding no more than five points to a single network for a total of six units (1 router + 5 points). My house is made of steel reinforced concrete, so the coverage mentioned is greatly diminished- so I have a total of 8 points in my house - but I must say it has been a game changer. Each point expands coverage, so consider the placement of your Wifi devices to increase the reliability of your Wi-Fi network throughout your home.

In addition to being a mesh Wi-Fi system with Wi-Fi 5 support, each of the Nest Wifi units also acts as a Google Home smart speaker. While Google’s Point bundles come with a white model, Google wants its Points to blend into your decor, so it also offers pale blue or pale pink options. If you'd like to add another Wi-Fi device, tap Yes in the app to continue or follow the steps below to add a point at a later time. Nest Wifi devices and Google Wifi points can be added to the network that you've created with your router. Note: It's strongly recommended that you purchase your Wifi device(s) from the country where you'll be using them.

The Point doesn’t have an ethernet jack and is solely wireless, meaning you need at least one Nest Wifi router to use the Point.

That’s not to say others can’t use the network while you’re gaming, Nest Wifi will just intelligently allocate resources to ensure the smoothest gaming experience possible. And why does it play, for example, Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata without telling you WHO is the pianist ?This wireless router simply connects to your modem or gateway and delivers up to 2,200 square feet (204 sq meters) of Wi-Fi coverage to up to 100 connected devices. We’ve already talked about Assistant integration in Points, but here are some other features offered by Nest Wifi that help it stand out.

NOTE: The "stars" are the signal strength indicators on the WiFi Analyzer App I used to determine where to place the Access Points. Google's 'points' have Google Assistant smart speakers integrated inside, which mean you can use them just like you would a Nest Mini smart speaker. With Google Nest WiFi you'll have super-fast internet on a secure network, and it's all controlled from an app.Your Thread-enabled network will be faster, use less energy and reach more places throughout and around your home.
