We purchased Google's Nest Wi-Fi so our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and review it. Read on for our full product review.

For the average user, there’s nothing better for home Wi-Fi than a mesh network. Instead of a single Wi-Fi router that you can optionally add individual extender devices to, mesh networks spread the signal across multiple small nodes to ensure smooth, seamless coverage throughout your home.

Google’s Nest Wi-Fi is one of the more prominent and compelling options in the game. Released in late 2019, Nest Wi-Fi is an improvement over the original Google Wi-Fi hardware, with faster speeds and more refined hardware that blends into your home rather than sticking out like a sore thumb like most routers do. It’s one of the more expensive mesh Wi-Fi systems out there, and you can certainly find a cheaper alternative, but Google Nest Wi-Fi excels at delivering whole-home coverage, impressive speeds, excellent hardware design, and a foolproof setup process. I tested Google Nest Wi-Fi over several days in and around my home with a dual-router setup.

The Google Nest Wi-Fi router probably looks nothing like any router you’ve ever owned. It doesn’t have any antennas sticking out, and it’s not boxy and technical in design.
