Introduction

Google Nest WIFI Router is the newest mesh Wi-Fi system from Google
It is not just a major force on the internet and how we use it. It is also a big player in how people get on the internet, to begin with Google. Google has been trying to ace the WIFI gear for quite some time now. Google WIFI became a breakout hit due to its easy setup and its ability to spread a fast, reliable Wi-Fi connection. Nest Wifi is a second-generation follow-up that adds in faster internet speeds and a better-looking design. It also includes Google Assistant smart speakers built into each satellite extender.

Google Nest WIFI router with Bigger coverage area

A good mesh router is capable of fast, reliable internet speeds throughout the home. The coverage and add-on points are dependent upon the size of the house. Nest WIFI requires a Nest WIFI router compatible with both Nest WIFI points and Google WIFI points. The Router has a range of around 2,200 square feet, with each Point adding an additional 1,600 square feet. Inside, the Router's wireless radios are twice as powerful as Google WIFI. They come with far better support for multiple devices making it easier for multiple devices to function under the same roof.

Sleek and cylindrical devices that pair together wirelessly, Google WIFI and Google Nest WIFI Router both take the same basic approach to design. However, Google has made the necessary changes with the new generation to make it stand out from the crowd.

Nest WIFI softened the edges and ditched the blue LED lights to give the system a gentler look that can blend into anyone’s home decor. Even though the Nest WIFI router is only available in white, the range extending Nest WIFI Points comes in your choice of three colours which are white, blue, or coral.
Another key hardware difference with Google WIFI is that each device is identical. You can connect any of them to your modem to serve as your network's router. They can also be used as range extenders in other rooms of your house. However, that is not the case with Nest WIFI, which features a dedicated router and smaller, separate range extenders called the Nest WIFI Points.

Each Nest WIFI device has four internal antennas that work with the electronics to create a self-healing 802.11ac network. The router's 5GHz transmission uses a 4x4 setup, its 2.4GHz band uses a 2x2 design. This helps the device create a maximum throughput of 2,200 Mbps. On the other hand, the 2x2 extensions top out at 1,200Mbps. The overall performance of the Google Nest WIFI Router cannot be taken into question.

Google Home app control - The best Google nest Wi-Fi router feature

Google has not left any stone unturned when it comes to connectivity and control. Google WIFI comes with its own, dedicated control app that does a good job of walking you through setup and offering basic controls. However, it is not ideal if you like having lots of advanced network settings at your fingertips.
Nest WIFI has relocated the controls into the Google Home app, so you will control your router alongside things like Google Assistant smart speakers and compatible smart home gadgets. Along with parental controls, it also houses other user-friendly features. It allows you to run a quick speed test from the app, and you can group devices together to quickly turn their Wi-Fi access on and off. It is more streamlined and simplified than the controls in the original Google WIFI app, but you can still use those Google WIFI controls with Nest WIFI if you so choose.

Conclusion

For almost everyone, we think the new Nest WIFI is a much better mesh system. It costs a bit more than Google WIFI does at this point, but not by much. The lack of Wi-Fi 6 support is a little disappointing, but not as disappointing as you might think. The Google Nest WIFI kicks things up a notch, combining Google Wifi’s amazing yet simple design and incredible performance and merging it into an even better device. You will get faster top speeds, stronger connections, and access to the latest encryption standards, which is good for future-proofing.
