If the hefty price tag doesn't cause you too much distress, take the plunge if and when the Nest Wi-Fi Pro becomes available in Australia. Wi-Fi 6E is a legitimate game-changer and the device appears to have all the bases covered in terms of daily internet usage. Should you buy the Google Nest Wi-Fi Pro?Īt this early stage, the Nest Wi-Fi Pro looks like it will comfortably take the mantle of the best Google router yet. It features a sleek, glossy finish and is built with over 60% recycled materials. Google has prioritised attractiveness and sustainability with the product's design. The built-in smart speakers of previous Google Nests are gone as well.Ī 3-pack of Nest Wi-Fi Pro routers can cover over 600 square metres of space, per Google. If you purchase a 3-pack, you'll receive 3 identical devices. The Nest Wi-Fi Pro is shaking things up by removing the distinction between hub and extender. Previous Google Nest devices featured 1 hub router and multiple connected extenders. However, the router is not backwards-compatible with earlier Google Nest and Google Wi-Fi systems. Google claims the device "can accommodate nearly every connected device in a typical home" including smart devices. What else is the Google Nest Wi-Fi Pro bringing to the table? Google hasn't skimped on the Nest Wi-Fi Pro's functionality. Tests have confirmed that compatible devices make excellent use of the new technology.Ĭompatible Wi-Fi 6E devices include the Google Pixel 6 and Samsung Galaxy S22 lines. There are several Wi-Fi 6E routers on the market from brands like NetGear. Google equates the faster speeds of Wi-Fi 6E to driving in the fast lane of the highway. "6E" stands for "6 Extended", referring to the 6GHz radio band the device uses for internet connection.ĦGHz radio bands are less "crowded" with radio waves than older forms of internet connection.
The most important feature of the Google Nest Wi-Fi Pro is its use of Wi-Fi 6E. That's a lot to pay for a Wi-Fi router, so will it be worth it? Wi-Fi 6E The Google Nest Wi-Fi Pro retails for US$199 for a 1-pack, US$299 for a 2-pack and US$399 for a 3-pack.īased on current conversion rates, those prices equate to approximately AUD$305, AUD$459 and AUD$613. Wi-Fi 6E was approved in Australia earlier this year, but Google may be experiencing some hiccups optimising the device for use down under. While it's already available for pre-order on the US Google Store ahead of a 27 October release date, the Australian site contains no mention of it.Ĭonsidering how widely available Google's older generations of Nest Wi-Fi systems are, we'd be surprised to see the device not eventually land on our shores.

It is not clear when Australian shoppers will be able to get their hands on the Nest Wi-Fi Pro.
