However, it does introduce the grim possibility of somebody else doing exactly the same, without you ever knowing. That said, you can often find the Nest Wifi on sale for much less, so it's still worth considering as a budget option.

If I swap the office Point for a 2nd Router, can I plug the computer into its ethernet port and get better speed? Although Google Wifi was one of our favorite mesh routers at the time, the company released a new mesh Wi-Fi system under the Nest brand name in 2019. Matter is a new, universal standard for smart home devices designed to make setting up and using your smart home easier. The holes on the top of the Point are for the far-field microphones it uses to listen for your Google Assistant voice commands.

We’ve already talked about Assistant integration in Points, but here are some other features offered by Nest Wifi that help it stand out. That lets you use the things like smart speakers, with the full intelligence of the Google Assistant just a quick voice command away. Unlike with one of the best Wi-Fi routers, mesh routers can’t be tucked away in a corner since the satellites need to be spread throughout your home for better Wi-Fi coverage. They include access to all of the same, voice-activated Google Assistant features, as well as a microphone mute switch in the back and touch controls on top.Even when I moved farther away from the router to the far reaches of the basement, the worst speeds I saw were around 45Mbps. The number of devices that can support Wi-Fi 6 is still pretty low, but support would have helped for a device that’s supposed to be somewhat future-proof. You can take your laptop anywhere in your house and access the Internet, or access your network from the garden.

Even though the Nest Wifi Pro is Google’s latest mesh Wi-Fi system, you can still find both Google Wifi and Nest Wifi routers for sale online.
