Finance your Nest Wifi Pro.*
Nest Wifi Pro is Google Nest’s highest performance Wi-Fi system for your home. Using Wi-Fi 6E, Nest Wifi Pro replaces a single router network with multiple routers to reach all of your devices in the place you want them. Nest Wifi Pro has greater capacity for speed and coverage area compared to Google Nest’s previous Wi-Fi systems.
Wi-Fi coverage throughout your entire home
Nest Wifi Pro (Wi-Fi 6E) is built on mesh Wi-Fi technology. Each router works together to make sure your devices stay on the channel with the most bandwidth. The result is a strong Wi-Fi signal throughout your house, not just near your modem. This makes it possible to move from room to room on a video call with minimal disruption, or stream multiple 4K videos at once.
The Wi-Fi system is scalable, so you can find the right number of Nest Wifi Pro devices available for the size and shape of your home. If you still need more coverage, just add an additional Nest Wifi Pro device. Nest Wifi Pro (Wi-Fi 6E) is not backwards compatible and cannot be combined with Nest Wifi or Google Wifi (Wi-Fi 5) in a mesh network. Due to the latest generation technology in Nest Wifi Pro, mixed networks with Nest Wifi Pro and earlier versions of Nest Wifi or Google Wifi aren’t supported.
Wi-Fi 6E
Wi-Fi 6E is the biggest upgrade in Wi-Fi technology in many years, and offers up to 2x the speeds of Wi-Fi 61. It includes access to the newly available 6 GHz wireless band, which provides fast speeds, less congested channels, and allows for more devices to operate at higher speeds. Learn more about the benefits of Wi-Fi 6E. Nest Wifi Pro includes this third radio band of the new 6 GHz, in addition to the traditional Wi-Fi radios in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands.
Matter and Thread support for a more connected and compatible home
- Nest Wifi Pro has been updated to support Matter, the new universal standard that simplifies smart home compatibility and setup. Nest Wifi Pro can act as a hub for Matter to connect and control your Google Home and other Matter-enabled devices, so your smart home is faster to set up and more responsive and reliable than ever. Learn more about Matter.

Learn more about Nest devices with Thread.
Easy to set up, easy to manage
You can quickly set up Nest Wifi Pro and manage it in the Google Home app along with your other connected devices. If you already have a Nest Wifi or Google Wifi system, to set up Nest Wifi Pro you’ll have to remove the previous network from your Google Home structure, or set up a different Google Home structure. After the new network is set up, automatic updates to Nest Wifi Pro will give you new features and help keep your network secure.
Google smarts for a faster, simpler, more reliable Wi-Fi
Nest Wifi Pro uses network insights to automatically optimize your network’s performance. For example, it’ll automatically prioritize video calls to help keep them smooth and consistent. Nest Wifi Pro can also adapt and account for when your internet service provider (ISP)’s speeds dip unexpectedly.
Wi-Fi issues are proactively scanned for and diagnosed, and Nest Wifi Pro can even fix common network problems on its own so you don’t need to. It’ll let your know if a simple fix, such as a new Ethernet cable, can improve your network’s performance.
Safe and secure Wi-Fi
You can create a guest network and share your password from the Google Home app. You can also decide which devices to prioritize for faster speeds, and run speed tests to understand the performance of your network and device connectivity.
Family Wi-Fi lets you set schedules to manage screen time, restrict certain kinds of adult content, and pause Wi-Fi for specific devices whenever you want.
1Up to 2x faster as compared to a Wi-Fi 6 router that supports 80 MHz channels. Wi-Fi 6E specifications are based on use of a Wi-Fi 6 or later generation client device that supports 160 MHz channels.

At the company’s fall hardware event, Google announced the Nest Wifi Pro, which makes it easy to put Wi-Fi 6E signal throughout your home and control it through the Google Assistant.
For years now, Google has offered its “Google Wifi” and “Nest Wifi” series devices that are purpose-built to fill your home with strong, reliable Wi-Fi signal. The core detail that Google has always emphasized is the ease of setup through simple hardware and the use of the Google Home app.
In 2019, the Nest Wifi series split out into two types of devices with a base router and extenders equipped with a Google Assistant speaker. With the new Nest Wifi Pro, Google is returning to its roots, focusing on easy connectivity first and foremost.
To that end, the Nest Wifi Pro includes full Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, which is two major steps upward from the 802.11ac (now known as Wi-Fi 5) included in Google’s previous hardware. Under ideal circumstances — minimal interference, strong signal, top-tier hardware, etc. — a Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E network from Nest Wifi Pro is capable of up to 5.4Gbps. Even without those perfect conditions, Wi-Fi 6E should be multiple times faster than an older Wi-Fi 5 network, both for connections within your home network and connecting to the internet in general.
The key differentiator of Wi-Fi 6E over simple Wi-Fi 6 is the use of a third range of wireless signal between 6 and 7 GHz. As these ranges are currently not common in household use, Wi-Fi 6E capable devices should be able to communicate with less wireless interference, albeit with a shorter potential distance. Wi-Fi 6E is still relatively new, meaning not too many devices support it, but your core essentials like Pixel phones and high-end Chromebooks should see a benefit.
Each Nest Wifi Pro also serves to extend the range of your home’s Thread/Matter network. Once Google Home is fully integrated with Matter in the near future, the Nest Wifi Pro will serve as a Matter hub to control individual devices.
Nest Wifi Pro also includes a built-in Thread border router so you can connect all your Thread smart devices to your home network — and save energy, thanks to Thread’s low power mesh.
Shortly after Matter, the new smart home protocol, launches, you’ll be able to use your Nest Wifi Pro router as a Matter hub, too. It will control and connect to all your Matter-enabled devices, making it that much easier to manage and add devices to your smart home in the future.
Like all of Google’s past routers, the Nest Wifi Pro is designed to be easily managed by the Google Assistant, making it easy to turn on/off Family Wifi or Guest Network, or even display your guest login info on a smart display. Behind the scenes, Google has also built in quite a bit of smarts to automatically optimize for important traffic like video calls and streaming. That said, this model is not as thoroughly integrated with the Assistant, as there are no models with built-in smart speakers.
To help the Nest Wifi Pro blend in with Google’s latest generation of hardware while also looking pleasant in your home, the routers are available in a handful of colors. Snow (white), Linen (beige), and Fog (blue-green-gray) should be familiar to owners of Nest hardware, while a new shade of Lemongrass matches the Pixel Buds Pro and upcoming Pixel 7. Placed ideally, the Nest Wifi Pro could be mistaken for a glossy ceramic decoration.
Of course, this type of top-tier connectivity comes at a cost, but Google has prepared some well-priced bundles to help lessen the strain. A single Nest Wifi Pro — with enough signal strength for a small home, up to 2,200 sq ft — will set you back $199, while bundles of two or three — perfect for larger areas — are only $299 and $399, respectively.
The availability of these bundles is particularly important this year, as the Nest Wifi Pro is not compatible with existing Nest Wifi or Google Wifi routers/extenders. According to Google, this lack of support is tied to the introduction of 6 GHz bandwidth for Wi-Fi 6E, as the older routers and points would have degraded performance. So, current owners of Nest/Google Wifi hardware will need to start fresh in order to use the Nest Wifi Pro system.

Today, we’re introducing the Nest Wifi Pro, our all-new router with Wi-Fi 6E capabilities for faster speeds and smoother connections.
There are days when our home’s Wi-Fi feels a bit crowded. One family member might be using it to take virtual meetings, while another streams their favorite show, and another downloads the latest game. And they all rely on a fast and reliable connection.
Today, we’re introducing our latest Wi-Fi system, Nest Wifi Pro, with Wi-Fi 6E technology. This new advanced mesh Wi-Fi system helps make all those home connections faster, more reliable and simpler to manage.
Faster speeds for your entire home
So what exactly is Wi-Fi 6E? As its name — 6 “Extended” — suggests, it’s a big upgrade from Wi-Fi 6. While Wi-Fi 6 was built on the same heavily congested radio bands used by Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6E uses an entirely new (and less crowded) 6 GHz radio band. Much like driving in the fast lane on the highway, the 6 GHz band provides a faster and more direct path to the most reliable internet connection.
As a result, 6E offers speeds up to two times faster than Wi-Fi 6. The first of our Wi-Fi routers to enable 6E, Nest Wifi Pro is set up to support the next generation of phones, laptops and other devices operating on more advanced technology.
Nest Wifi Pro is built to constantly analyze your network performance and optimize your connection to keep it fast and avoid congestion. And it knows how to prioritize high-bandwidth activities like video calls and streaming.
Simple to use
It’s simple to set up your router using the Google Home app, which will show you easy step-by-step instructions to get your network up and running in minutes. The app is also the best place to monitor your network, whether you want to run speed tests, share your password or set up a guest network.
To avoid those frustrating connectivity disruptions, Nest Wifi Pro proactively scans for and diagnoses connection issues and notifies you in the app with any steps you need to take. Using Google intelligence, it can even automatically fix common problems, like recovering a lost connection.
And at no additional cost, you can better manage your kids’ connections. In the app’s Family Wi-Fi settings, you’ll find parental controls like Wi-Fi scheduling, which allows you to restrict Wi-Fi access during moments like bedtime or dinnertime, and simple ways to block unsafe content.
Safe and secure out of the box
With so many connected devices, home networks can be susceptible to unauthorized downloads and router hacks. We built safety and security measures directly into Nest Wifi Pro, at no additional cost, to help protect your connection. For example, in the Google Home app, you can see every device that’s connected to your network to help you easily identify and pause any that might look suspicious.
Automatic software updates also keep your Nest Wifi Pro running smoothly, helping protect your router and network from security threats.
Foundation of your smart home
Designed with our many Wi-Fi needs in mind, each Nest Wifi Pro can accommodate nearly every connected device in a typical home. And it has the speed and capacity to handle several high-bandwidth activities at the same time, like taking video calls while watching 4K videos and streaming your security cameras. One router has the power to cover up to 2,200 square feet alone.1
Nest Wifi Pro also includes a built-in Thread border router so you can connect all your Thread smart devices to your home network — and save energy, thanks to Thread’s low power mesh.
Shortly after Matter, the new smart home protocol, launches, you’ll be able to use your Nest Wifi Pro router as a Matter hub, too. It will control and connect to all your Matter-enabled devices, making it that much easier to manage and add devices to your smart home in the future.
Beautiful and sustainable design
Let’s face it, many Wi-Fi routers aren’t that attractive with their long antennae and blinking lights. Because of this, they’re often tucked away into a cabinet or closet, stifling their signal and performance. Nest Wifi Pro was built to fit in with your home, offering a beautiful high gloss finish inspired by ceramics.
Color was an important consideration when designing the Nest Wifi Pro. These devices are available in four, natural earth tones — Snow, Linen, Fog and Lemongrass — to inspire a tranquil environment and blend with any style. Snow is a soft cotton white that easily fits in with your other Nest products. Linen, a new neutral color to our hardware lineup, brings warmth to any room. Inspired by nature, Fog is a muted, restorative hue that matches cool-toned decor, while Lemongrass provides a burst of color and energy.
We’ve also considered sustainability at many levels, from how the product is made to the materials we used to build it. It’s a sustainable home networking choice, built with over 60% recycled materials based on product weight.
Nest Wifi Pro retails at $399.99 for a three pack, covering up to 6,600 square feet. It’s also available at $299.99 for a two pack or $199.99 for a one pack to accommodate homes of all sizes. It will be available online and in stores October 27, with pre-orders beginning October 4.
