Google Nest Wifi Router and Point

Google Nest WiFi Router & Point: The Google Nest WiFi Router & Point replaces your old router and works with your modem and ISP (Internet Service Provider) to create a mesh network and increase your home’s WiFi coverage up to 3800 sq/ft. The Google Nest WiFi Router & Point works differently than a traditional router; traditional routers have limited range and when you add WiFi extenders you end up degrading your speed. The Google Nest WiFi Router & Point work together to create a “mesh network” that covers your home with a reliably strong, fast WiFi signal.

Mesh WiFi Network: The Google Nest WiFi Router and Point can create a Mesh WiFi Network in your home. The Add-on Point connects 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 the Add-on Point as well as the Router, Google Nest WiFi is a connected system that provides better coverage over a wider space.

WiFi Technologies: The Google Nest WiFi Router & Point incorporates advanced WiFi technologies like Dual-Band, 802.11ac, and MU-MIMO.

• Dual-Band 2.4/5GHZ: Simultaneous dual band WiFi provides two separate WiFi networks; 2.4GHz for legacy devices and 5GHz which is less interference-prone for media streaming. The Google Nest WiFi Router & Point offer reliable and fast wireless networking speeds up to 2200Mbps.
• 802.11ac: 802.11ac WiFi delivers exceptional speed and performance, and is 3x faster than Wireless-N. The Google Nest WiFi Router & Point support the following WiFi standards – 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac
• MU-MIMO: 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 Router & Point 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.

Ethernet Jacks: The Google Nest WiFi Router has two Ethernet (RJ-45) jacks; 1 WAN and 1 LAN. The Google Nest WiFi Router 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 Router’s LAN Ethernet jack. The Google Nest WiFi Add-on Point does not feature a hardwired Ethernet connection and must be linked via WiFi.

Google Home App: The Google Home App lets you set up and control the Google Nest WiFi Router & Point 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 kids’ devices. The app also provides insights to help you get the most out of your Google Nest WiFi Mesh network.

Built-In Google Assistant: The Google Nest WiFi Add-on Point comes with Google Assistant built-in (The Google Nest WiFi Router is not equipped with builtin Google Assistant). There are 4 microphones and one 1.5″ speaker built into the Google Nest WiFi Add-on Point. You can activate the built-in Google Assistant by saying “Hey Google” or “Ok Google”. You can ask the Google Assistant to play your favorite music, get the answer to a question, manage your mesh WiFi network, and easily control smart devices around your home by using just your voice. The Google Assistant can assist you in five major areas.

• Network: Use the Google Assistant to manage and configure your Google Nest WiFi mesh network.
• Entertainment: Use voice commands to access and play your favorite internet radio stations and online music services.
