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

Pricier than its predecessor
No ethernet on the mesh points
