Google Nest Wifi Pro gives you super fast, reliable WiFi 6E coverage for your entire home.[1] One WiFi router provides up to 2200 square feet of fast, reliable WiFi[2], and you can customize your setup to create a mesh WiFi system for the coverage you need. It automatically adjusts your WiFi network’s performance to keep things running smoothly. It’s so smart it can monitor and diagnose common issues on its own. And it has privacy and security features to help keep you and your family safe. LEGAL [1]Up to 2x faster as compared to a Wi-Fi 6 router that supports 80 MHz channels. Wi-Fi 6E specifications are based on use of a Wi-Fi 6 or later generation client device that supports 160 MHz channels. Actual speeds depend on your internet service provider, network conditions, connected device, local regulations and environmental factors. [2]Router placement and home size, materials and layout can affect how Wi-Fi signal travels. Poor placement and larger homes or homes with thicker walls or long, narrow layouts may need extra Wifi routers for full coverage. Strength and speed of signal will also depend on your internet provider. More than 5 routers in a network may result in degraded performance and is not recommended. [3]A Wi-Fi 6E client device is needed to directly access the 6 GHz band, which is limited to indoor use only. [4]Actual speeds depend on your internet service provider, network conditions, connected device, local regulations and environmental factors. [5]Based on product weight. [6]Check go.co/nest/matternow for availability of Matter’s functionality on Nest Wifi Pro. [7]Nest Wifi Pro should only be used indoors. [8]Nest Doorbell and Chromecast with Google TV sold separately.

Title: Upgrading from Google Wifi, Nest Wifi to Nest Wifi Pro
Review: The only reason why I am upgrading is because my IPS gave me deal for 1 GBs. I had 200 MBs and that was more than enough for me. I had Google Wifi (gen1) for about 5 years. No problems except I had to buy extra pod to strengthen the signal (i live in condo and i have brick walls). So the signal from my balcony room (storage with concrete walls) was poor to my office. I bought nest wifi and everything was working good (connection was great / good) between nest wifi (router gen2) to 2 google wifi (gen1). I notice that after I got 1 GBs from ISP my speed was still the same 100 MBs on wifi. When I disconnected gen 1s (routers) my speed next to router (testing on iphone 14pro) was 560 MBs. If I would probably just switch my old 2 google wifi (gen 1) to Nest Wifi (gen2) I would be just fine. But since I live in condo I was like let me try that new 6Ghz.So I bought Nest Wifi Pro 3pk. Signal between 3 of them is great. If I would just use 2 it would be âGood signalâ. I live in 1500 sqft apt, but my main router is basically in concrete storage (maybe I will drill a whole and put that router inside apt and give update).Speed next to Nest Wifi pro (gen3) router seems to be the same as Nest Wifi (gen2) what I am trying to say is I wouldnât upgrade if all my previous pods were Nest Wifi (gen2). I wouldnât expect more than 600 MBs on this routers based on my research online. What I like about google is steady speed, and they are upgrading software for this Nest Wifi Pro (so in future it will get better)Wifi speeds:Shed 500-600 MBs download / 22 MBs upload wifi speedWorkout Room about 300 MBsOffice 150-300 MBsOverall I donât play a lot of games. Tried for CS 2 and ping was good, no lags in game.Streaming videos for 6hrs no buffering problems.Overall:If are upgrading from Google Wifi yea thats upgrade. I would not suggest upgrading Nest Wifi (only if you experience network problems or want to see if wifi will be stronger but I donât see this wifi hitting more than 600 Mbs). Who needs more than 1 GBs internet.Design:I donât really care about it but looks like nice stone (gen3). If its goes about power connector I am not a fan of it. Gen 1 had better in my opinion because if you connect to multiple plug connector it easy.Missing:Nest WiFi pro use 1 GBs Ethernet/WAN speed (that wire entry) while competition use 2.5 GBs Ethernet/WAN speed. On the other hand who use Ethernet anymore? Gaming desktops and maybe playstation. But going forward I believe it will be all Wifi at some point.Signal:Seems to be better than Google WiFi (gen 1 and gen 2)Software:I had recently update on this which means google is working on this router. Maybe It will get better in future.Installation:Very easy on Google Home app. If you use the same wifi password and name, all your devices will connect automatically. However 3rd took me about 5 tries but finally was added.Price: Very Good compare to others. If you need 4pk see costco.Update from 14 January 2024:I found that moving modem and router from my storage/heating closet to open (without obstruction of concrete/brick walls) inside apartment made increased speed of 400-600 Mbps per second. The farther away pod goes 400+ Mbps. (On 1gb internet for comcast)I donât see any issues with this system. I changed my 4 starts to 5 stars.

Title: Horribleâ¦..then works great once I solved the issue
Review: Bought this when it first became available. Just received this afternoon 11/4. Tried setting up but both access points would not connect. Spent 1 hour on the phone with support and they finally said to me âtheyâll kick this up to a senior engineer but, if I can I should return it to Amazon as it appears defectiveâ. So Iâm returning it after spending 2+ hours trying to setup and on the phone with support. Just to give background I am very familiar with google products as I have the original google wifi. Worked flawlessly till they passed a firmware upgrade on this past summer. Since then have had to restart all the routers once a week. The next one I order better work. Will update once I get and successfully setup.Update 11/26 - got the system to work by hooking each wifi point up to the router with internet first. That allowed each wifi point to load whatever updated software it needed as well as connect to the system. I was then able to disconnect each point from the routers internet via Ethernet cord move it to where I wanted it and then it reconnected to the main router. The system now works perfectly and is super fast! Love it!!! But, canât say the same for google support. They should know how to make the system work and be able to troubleshoot it if someone calls, like me, and the fact that they werenât able to is not goog sneed for me or anyone in the future if something happens. Now that this works I can recommend it and say itâs fairly simple to setup. Just connect each point to the router when initially setting up so they can each get setup. Hope this helps everyone!

Title: Disappointing Performance Compared to Older Google Nest Routers
Review: I had high hopes for the Google Nest WiFi Pro - 6E routers, thinking they would be a significant upgrade over my previous Google Nest Bluetooth WiFi Router â 4x4 AC2200 mesh system. Unfortunately, the performance has been a major letdown, despite the more advanced specs and features.Speed and Signal Issues:The 6 GHz band, which is supposed to offer blazing fast speeds, performs terribly in my home. I live in a concrete building, and it seems like these new routers struggle to penetrate walls, resulting in frequent drops in speed and connection issues. My older AC2200 routers, which ran on the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands, handled the exact same environment much better. The signal was more stable and reached further, without the performance dips I'm seeing now.Range and Coverage:Even with three units spread across my apartment (in the same locations as my old routers), the coverage is worse. Devices connected to the 6 GHz band lose signal strength rapidly when moving even slightly away from the routers, and the automatic switching to the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz bands is inconsistent at best.Not Worth the Upgrade:I upgraded specifically for the 6E capability, expecting it to improve overall speed and connectivity, but in my experience, it has been a downgrade. Even with the newest devices that support WiFi 6E, the performance has been unreliable and frustrating, especially compared to how solid my old Google Nest system was.If you live in a concrete or heavily obstructed building like I do, you might want to think twice before investing in this system. In my case, I might just go back to my older routers, as they were more reliable and handled the environment much better.

Review: O alcance é muito baixo e sinal incompetente para transpassar paredes de alvenaria.m! Tenho um TP Link M9 Plus que é bem melhor apesar de ter as especificaçoes inferiores. Esperava muito mais desse produto. Extremamente demorado para voltar a rede caso reinicie o modem de internet

Review: Ready to setup and solid performance. Only downside is that with some Galaxy phones the wifi needs to be disconnected sometimes. Don't know if it's Samsung or Google wifi that's the issue but the office jag never had problem on other access points
