These Nest Wifi devices work together to blanket your whole home in fast, reliable Wi-Fi and eliminate buffering in every room – with coverage of up to 5400 square feet. Nest Wi-Fi is a scalable and flexible Wi-Fi system.Google Wi-Fi: Side-by-Side ComparisonĢx 1Gbps (LAN) available on Router and Point, Power port One of the differences between Nest Wifi and Google WiFi is that Nesh Wifi touts AC2200 speeds while Google Wifi AC1200 speeds.
Google Wifi is the original mesh network system from Google, and Nest Wifi is the second-generation iteration.Nest Wifi and Google Wifi are products of Google offering mesh network solutions.Read on for a detailed comparison of all their features and the eight key differences that will help you decide which one is best for your home. However, both are still capable systems that get the job done.ĭid you know that Nest Wi-Fi comes with Google Assistant built-in? Imagine being able to control your entire home network using just your voice. Nest Wi-Fi is also way faster at AC2200 than Google Wi-Fi’s AC1200 speed rating. For instance, instead of the WPA2 standard technology, Nest uses WPA3 for better protection against cyber attacks. A few years later in 2019, the company launched its revamped version, Nest Wi-Fi, which packs more features and improved technology. Google, being the tech giant it is, first launched the Google Wi-Fi system in 2016. Instead of using a single router that covers only one area of your home, you can create a network of several routers (called nodes) that can blanket large areas with reliable, fast Wi-Fi. Then, your wired secondaries can be just about anywhere, since they'll be using Ethernet to connect.Mesh networking systems offer an excellent boost to your home or office internet coverage. So, if you want to use a mixture of wired and wireless secondaries, make sure you place the wireless/mesh secondaries close enough to the primary that they can get a strong 5GHz connection to it. So, they can't act like "remote base stations" for more distant wireless-only secondaries. I do want to make one thing clear about using Ethernet to connect secondaries, though – those secondaries will have to withdraw from the wireless mesh interconnect to avoid traffic loops.
But, running Ethernet from the primary to a secondary Nest WiFi Router unit (or a Google WiFi unit, which supports Ethernet but is less expensive) will also help quite a bit. If you can use one Ethernet run to relocate the primary to a more central location, that will help for a start. You'll still want to put some thought into how best to take advantage of it.
Hello you can run some Ethernet, that can definitely help. This is probably more than you wanted to know, but I hope it helps (especially if it means you can make things more reliable just by moving things around a bit instead of spending more money). In that case, running Ethernet and deploying wired secondaries (not Nest WiFi Points, but either Nest WiFi Router or Google WiFi units) may be the best solution. If you place the secondaries in an area where clients are already struggling to get a solid connection, that secondary will struggle at least as much (and probably more, since it can't fall back to 2.4GHz).Īlso, if you have interior walls that are made from solid (e.g., brick, concrete, plaster) construction materials, you may have even bigger challenges. From there, they will provide both 2.4GHz and 5GHz coverage to more distant clients. Since 5GHz doesn't go as far as 2.4GHz, that means one or two rooms (in any direction). The real key to solid coverage is following the placement advice: primary Nest WiFi Router as close to the center of your home as possible with the secondaries (Nest WiFi Point units and any additional Nest WiFi Router units) placed around the primary, close enough to get a solid 5GHz connection to it. More points isn't always better, and can even make things worse. That said, I don't want to give the impression this would necessarily improve your system. You just add it as if it was another Nest WiFi Point in the Google Home app.
It does not need to be wired to the existing primary Nest WiFi Router (though that can be a good thing to do). Hello you can add another Nest WiFi Router unit to your existing system.
