Features

Google Nest WiFi Pro Router: The Google Nest WiFi Pro Router 2-pack works with your modem and ISP (Internet Service Provider) to create a mesh network and increase your home\’s WiFi coverage up to 4400 sq/ft. The Google Nest WiFi Pro Router mesh system works differently than a traditional router; traditional routers have limited range and when you add WiFi extenders you end up degrading your speed. The two included Google Nest WiFi Pro Routers work together to creating a \”mesh network\” to cover your home with a reliably strong, fast WiFi signal.

WiFi 6E (802.11ax): The Google Nest WiFi Pro offers the latest generation WiFi 6E (802.11ax) technology, providing greater capacity to handle more devices on your network and combined speeds up to 5.4Gbps, ensuring that you can enjoy blazing fast Internet connections on all your devices. WiFi 6E is the latest generation of WiFi that is less susceptible to radio interference, while providing a faster and more responsive connection. WiFi 6E provides smoother performance and lower latency for applications that rely on quick, responsive WiFi like video calls and gaming.

• Connected devices must be WiFi 6E compatible to directly access the 6GHz band.
• The Google Nest WiFi Pro mesh router cannot be combined in a mesh network with previous-generation (WiFi 5) Nest WiFi or Google WiFi routers or points.

WiFi Technologies: The Google Nest WiFi Pro Router 2-pack incorporates advanced WiFi technologies like Tri-Band, 802.11ax, and MU-MIMO.

• Tri-Band 2.4/5/6GHZ: Simultaneous tri-band WiFi provides three separate WiFi networks; 2.4GHz for legacy devices and 5GHz which is less interference-prone for media streaming, and 6GHz, for the fastest connection speeds. The Google Nest WiFi Pro Router offers combined networking speeds up to 5.4Gbps.
  • 2.4GHz Band: 600Mbps (2×2)
  • 5GHz Band: 2400Mbps (2×2)
  • 6GHz Band: 2400Mbps (2×2)
• 802.11ax: 802.11ax WiFi delivers exceptional speed and performance and supports the following WiFi standards – 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac, and 802.11ax.
• MU-MIMO (2×2): MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) is the latest advancement towards uninterrupted, simultaneous WiFi connections. Devices such as 4K TVs, HD streaming media players, tablets, game consoles, and many more use a lot of bandwidth, and with MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology, the Google Nest WiFi Pro Router 2-pack sends WiFi to multiple devices at the same time and same speed. Your whole family can play, stream, and work at once, without experiencing lag or buffering, at up to 2x the speed of a non-MU-MIMO router. The Google Nest WiFi Pro 2-pack can handle up to 200 connected devices.

Ethernet Jacks: The Google Nest WiFi Pro Router has two Ethernet (RJ-45) jacks; 1 WAN and 1 LAN. One of the two included Google Nest WiFi Pro Routers needs to be connected to your modem and ISP via its WAN Ethernet jack and Ethernet cable. A network device that requires a hardwired connection can also be connected to the Google Nest WiFi Pro Router\’s LAN Ethernet jack.

Mesh WiFi Network: The Google Nest WiFi Pro Router 2-pack can create a Mesh WiFi Network throughout your home. Additional Google Nest WiFi Pro routers (sold separately) connect wirelessly, so you don\’t need to run Ethernet cables throughout your house making installation a lot simpler and faster. A mesh network is a group of proprietary devices that communicate wirelessly to each other to create a single WiFi network that provides a blanket of connectivity. This allows you to have multiple sources of powerful WiFi throughout your home, instead of just a single router. Since WiFi is broadcasted from each WiFi Pro Router, Google Nest WiFi is a connected system that provides better coverage over a wider space. The system is flexible and scalable, so if you have a larger home, up to 3 Google Nest WiFi Pro Routers can be used in a single mesh system.

• 1-Pack Google Nest WiFi Pro Router: Covers approximately 2200 sq. ft.
• 2-Pack Google Nest WiFi Pro Routers: Covers approximately 4400 sq. ft.
• 3-Pack Google Nest WiFi Pro Routers: Covers approximately 6600 sq. ft.

Thread Compatible: Google Nest products are designed to work together so they can communicate with you and each other in a variety of ways. In a Thread mesh network, Thread devices relay information to each other through Thread routers (such as the Google Nest WiFi Pro Router) so if one of them goes offline, your Thread devices can find another Thread router and continue communicating with each other. Advantages of a Thread mesh network includes: improved range, lower power consumption, and continued use that\’s independent from your WiFi network.

Matter (coming soon): The Google Nest WiFi Pro Router is built with Matter, the new universal standard that simplifies smart home compatibility. It connects and controls all your Matter devices, so they will work seamlessly with Google Home. Matter is a set of protocols that guarantees your smart home device will be able to communicate with many other smart devices, even if they aren\’t made by the same manufacturer.

Google Home App: The Google Home App (for Apple iOS 11.0+ and Android OS 5.0+) lets you set up and control the Google Nest WiFi Pro Router mesh network right from your compatible smartphone or tablet. It puts you in control of your network by allowing you to easily share your WiFi password, see what devices are online, prioritize devices for better performance, or pause WiFi on kid\’s devices. The app also provides insights to help you get the most out of your Google Nest WiFi Mesh network.

Cloud-Based Security: Industry-leading hardware and cloud-based security that automatically updates itself means you\’re always protected. Google Nest WiFi has several built-in security measures to protect you online.

• Firewall: Google Nest WiFi\’s firewall creates a barrier between your WiFi network and the Internet, protecting your data from unsolicited connections or connection attempts. The firewall keeps track of connections (TCP streams, UDP communication) traveling across it. Only data associated with a known active connection is allowed through the firewall. Settings like UPnP and port forwarding allow devices to bypass the firewall and have an open connection, leaving them potentially vulnerable.
• WPA2/WPA3: Google Nest WiFi secures your WiFi network with either WPA2 protocol or the newer WPA3 protocol. Using WPA3 protocol makes your WiFi network highly resistant to security risks like offline dictionary attacks. By default, Google Nest WiFi uses the WPA2 protocol to maximize compatibility with legacy  connected devices (such as phones, tablets, or laptops). However, you can turn on WPA3 transition mode in the Google Home app.
• Automatic Updates: Google Nest WiFi receives automatic software updates to make sure you always have the latest security. These updates include open source components and go through several rigorous reviews. All software updates are signed by Google. Google Nest WiFi can’t download or run any software that isn\’t signed and verified.
• TLS: All communication between Google Nest WiFi and Google is secured by Transport Layer Security (TLS). This is a protocol that ensures privacy between a device and a server, making sure no one else sees or tampers with the message.

Installation & Placement Options: One of the included Google Nest WiFi Pro Routers needs to be connected to your modem with broadband internet connection via an Ethernet connection. Both mesh routers need to be connected to an electrical outlet using the included AC power adapters. Setup and configuration will be done through the Google Home app on your Apple iOS or Android OS device. If possible, place the Google Nest WiFi Pro Router in plain view like on a shelf or TV stand; it also helps to choose a central location at eye level.
