KitGuru Says
The Google Nest Wifi combines Google Home with mesh WiFi in a compact and
Beautiful design, Easy to set up, Points double as Google Assistant speakers
Only two ethernet jacks on the router, No Wi-Fi 6 support for future proofing
The Google Nest Wifi mesh system is fast, beautiful, and easy to use. While there are more feature-packed options out there, few alternatives come close to matching the style of Google's offering. Extras like Google Assistant baked into the Points also he...

Gorgeous and unobtrusive hardware, Simple to install and use, Includes a built-in smart speaker,
Pricier than its predecessor, No WiFi 6, No ethernet on the mesh points, Built-in voice assistant may rankle folks protecting their privacy
The point of Google's mesh WiFi system is to take away the stress of setup from those folks who have no interest in using 192.168.1.1. If you don't have mesh WiFi yet, and you want one, then Nest WiFi is clearly a no-brainer. You should be able to set up...

Easy to setup and control, Solid performance despite only two units, Smart speaker feature doubles the usefulness, Backward compatible with Google Wifi, Design is inoffensive as tech goes
No WiFi 6, Evolutionary not revolutionary upgrade over Google Wifi, No smart speaker functionality on core router unit, Ethernet and USB are conspicuously absent
If you're a Google Wifi owner, I'm not sure Nest Wifi offers enough to prompt an upgrade. Certainly, range seems improved, and the addition of smart speaker support in the Nest wifi point units is a nice addition. In my experience, though, the step up in...
Nest Wifi is an excellent mesh router system with impressive top speeds, strong performance at range, easy-to-use features and stable band steering. The range-extending Nest Wifi Points come in your choice of three colors, and double as Google Assistant s
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
If you already make regular use of Google's products and services, then the Nest Wifi is a worthy splurge for a seamless and speedy connected home...

Faster performance than Google Wifi, Easy guest network setup, Secondary Points double as smart speakers, Integrates with Nest smart displays for guest network management
Only two Ethernet jacks on the router and none on the Points, Two apps are needed to access some of the advanced features
Relatively affordable, For smaller single-level homes and apartments, Easy to setup, Reasonable performance, Satellites have OK Google speaker
Wi-Fi 5 AX dual-band – Wi-Fi 6 is the go in 2022, Only for NBN FTTP/HFC connections or with a VSDL modem/gateway, No App customisation or web interface, Satellites need to be between 5-7m from the router to maintain a reasonable backhaul
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...

The design is refreshed, the router is faster, has more storage but let's face it, there's a few features missing. Wifi 6, ethernet jacks on the Access Points, and the Access Points are also a little slower. I previously had a Google WiFi 3-puck system ru...

Abstract: The avalanche of new smartphones, tablets, laptops and assorted "smart devices" (including but not limited to TVs, speakers, lights, fridge, coffee machine, heat pump, blinds, washing machines and the list can go on and on) in our homes require, pretty mu...
