Google Nest has three different standalone mesh Wi-Fi systems:
- Nest Wifi Pro is a next-generation Wi-Fi 6E system for our fastest speeds. It includes the use of the 6 GHz wireless band for improved performance, can be used as a Thread border router, and is Matter-enabled.
- Nest Wifi Pro (Wi-Fi 6E) can't be combined with Nest Wifi routers or points or Google Wifi points (Wi-Fi 5) in a mesh network.
- Google Wifi provides fast, reliable coverage. It can be combined with the Nest Wifi router and point.
- Nest Wifi provides even more coverage and faster speeds than Google Wifi. It's composed of Nest Wifi routers and points. Nest Wifi points also act as a speaker with Google Assistant. Nest Wifi supports Thread and can be used as a Thread border router.
Note: Nest Wifi and Google Wifi are no longer sold by Google.
All Wi-Fi devices are managed using the Google Home app, which makes for simple setup and provides easy access to many helpful features. Learn more about Google Nest Wifi systems.
