Its Nest WiFi Pro, the new flagship of the company product, is built on that previous (and successful) formula by adding the benefits the addition of WiFi 6E. Its main selling point is the Google brand, as well as the promise of regularly scheduled free software updates as well as seamless integrations with all of the world’s smart home manufacturers. In a race between rivals with the Nest WiFi Pro, Nest WiFi Pro Nest WiFi Pro will be outclassed by many of its rivals, however, Google’s ease of use makes it the choice of choice for every person.
In our primary buyers’ guide to mesh WiFi, I’ve used the first version of Google’s mesh WiFi for several years and have also looked at this 2nd-generation version which is why I consider this to be my domain. It’s the Nest WiFi Pro is Google’s first model to harness WiFi 6/6E that was omitted from the previous model based on price reasons.

The WiFi Pro does not set aside a specific portion of its spectrum for backhaul. Instead, it shifts traffic to the most available spectrum to maximize performance. This will mostly occur in the 6GHz band as a majority of devices we use do not have the necessary components to connect it. Google also states that using 6GHz for backhaul will free up the area in 2.4 or 5GHz spectrums, which improves the performance of all devices connected to the network.
A notable change that was not present in the previous model is that you’re unable to purchase the Pro equipped with a built-in smart speaker. This is a good thing, as I’ve never been a fan to have a speaker in my WiFi unit. But, I’ll admit I was happy to utilize Spotify Connect on the original Nest WiFi in my kitchen, without having to purchase a second speaker.
