The editors didn't like

  • Only two ethernet jacks on the router
  • No Wi-Fi 6 support for future proofing
  • Similar mesh systems with comparable coverage can be had for less than half as much. Unlike the range extenders
  • The Nest Wifi Router only comes in white
  • And it only includes a single spare Ethernet jack
  • Short range
  • Speaker doesn't get loud enough
  • Minimal configuration options
  • No WiFi 6
  • Evolutionary not revolutionary upgrade over Google Wifi
  • No smart speaker functionality on core router unit
  • Ethernet and USB are conspicuously absent
  • Only two Ethernet jacks on the router and none on the Points
  • Two apps are needed to access some of the advanced features
  • With the router itself going for $170
  • And points $150 a piece
  • Even with bundle savings things get expensive
  • Quickly
  • Though largely good
  • There are a couple hiccups and conflicts that spring up with the pair of apps you'll need to control the router
  • Pricier than its predecessor
  • No ethernet on the mesh points
  • Built-in voice assistant may rankle folks protecting their privacy

  • Abstract:  Google's Nest Wifi isn't breaking new ground by melding a smart speaker with a Wi-Fi access point. Netgear did it better with last year's Orbi Voice. But if you don't need the very high performance that Netgear's high-end mesh networks deliver, Nest Wifi...

  • Still, despite the occasional bit of anomalous conduct, the sheer simplicity of setting up and using the Nest Wi-Fi didn't take all that long to win me over - and I suspect it'll do the same for many others.If you're got a household with way too many Wi-F...

  • The Nest Wifi is designed with a focus on simplicity and, on those terms, it's a big success. The units look as uncomplicated as you could ask for, they neatly combine two roles into one and they require little setup and maintenance. That's undeniably app...

  • Google Home and mesh WiFi in one package, Reasonable mono audio quality and power, Very simple smartphone app setup routine, Decent (but not quick) 802.11n coverage, Great value for WiFi mesh and Google Home
  • 802.11ac performance behind most mesh systems, Only one extra Ethernet LAN port on router, Limited router software features, No USB port for printer / storage sharing, KitGuru Says: The Google Nest Wifi combines Google Home with mesh WiFi in a compact and
  • The Google Nest Wifi doesn't offer the same level of WiFi coverage as NETGEAR's Orbi Voice. Nor is the sound quality in the same league. But it's also quite a bit cheaper, and if you have other devices in the Google Home / Nest ecosystem, it does make sen...

  • Fast, reliable Wi-Fi everywhere,Wi-Fi management is very simple,Google Assistant built into the nodes,
  • No Ethernet ports on the nodes, No support for the incoming Wi-Fi 6 standard, Google Assistant built into the nodes,
  • Google Nest Wifi does an impressive job of getting speedy, stable Wi-Fi out into every corner of your home. It's definitely going to appeal to those who are already heavily invested in the Google ecosystem, but isn't quite as compelling for everyone else...

  • Whether you need Nest Wifi depends on various factors, such as the size of your house and what sort of features you want from a mesh network. Those with Google Wifi needn't upgrade but can add in the new point thanks to backwards compatibility.We certainl...
