The Nest Wifi Pro suits homes already built around Google Home. Google's spec sheet lists Wi-Fi 6E (AXE5400) with combined speeds up to 5.4 Gbps, coverage of up to 2,200 sq. ft. per router, 4,400 sq. ft. for a 2-pack and 6,600 sq. ft. for a 3-pack, and up to 100 connected devices per point or 300 in a 3-pack. A built-in Thread border router, Bluetooth Low Energy and Matter support make it a smart home hub, and the router is AFC ready for higher-power 6 GHz channels when available. The Google Store showed a starting price of $199.99. The limits are the Wi-Fi 6E standard, now a generation behind the Wi-Fi 7 kits here, and two Ethernet ports per router that run at 1 Gbps, which caps wired speed on multi-gig plans. For a Google Home user on a gigabit plan, it is simple to run. We compared documented features and published prices only.
