The Google Nest Wifi Router supports Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and is more powerful than its predecessor, Google Wifi, delivering up to two times the speed and up to 25 percent better coverage. The Nest Wifi point allows for whole-home coverage and the system is scalable, allowing you to add more points in the future. The Nest Wifi system can handle multiple 4K video streams at the same time. The Nest Wifi system also supports proactive band steering, a self-healing network, and transmit beamforming. The router features the Snow color.

The Nest Wifi router can cover up to 2200 square feet and supports 4x4 MU-MIMO. The router also has dual Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 jacks.

Google built the Nest Wifi system to provide the foundation for your future smart-home devices. It has local home connectivity, allowing some devices to connect directly to the system without a hub. Use the Google Home app for a simple setup and controls.

The Nest Wifi router is capable of handling up to 100 connected devices. It's also fast enough to stream multiple 4K videos at the same time (dependent on your ISP broadband connection).

The Nest Wifi router plugs into your modem and creates a wireless network with a strong, reliable signal. Add a Nest Wifi point to expand Wi-Fi coverage. The Nest Wifi point also features a smart speaker that can play music and supports Google Assistant. As you move from room to room, you'll get connected to the fastest Wifi point. It will also put your network on the clearest channel and the fastest band to avoid congestion.

The Nest Wifi router provides up to 2200 square feet of coverage and intelligently works behind the scenes to make sure your Wi-Fi remains fast and reliable so that you can walk from room to room with an uninterrupted signal. Set up your network using the Google Home app, which allows you to manage connected devices and their access. Add Nest Wifi points for additional coverage. Automatic updates help your network stay safe and secure.

With an advanced security chip, WPA3 encryption, and automatic security updates, the Nest Wifi router helps keep your wireless network safe and secure.

The Nest Wifi router is made from 45 percent post-consumer recycled plastic while the point is made from 40 percent post-consumer recycled plastic.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do it work with 220v baseboard heater ?

A: No it will not: Compatible with most 24V heating and cooling systems. While most 24 V heating and cooling systems are compatible with Nest thermostats, there are some systems that aren’t compatible. You can quickly tell if you have one of these systems without having to use the Compatibility Checker or to look at your thermostat’s wiring. If you have one of the system types below, it won’t work with a Nest thermostat. Proprietary systems If you find wires in your thermostat’s connector that have non-standard labels (for instance 1,2,3, or A, B, C), your system is proprietary. If your system only has two wires, but you have both heating and cooling, your system is likely proprietary. Proprietary systems aren’t compatible with Google Nest thermostats. However, some proprietary systems can be rewired by a pro installer to be compatible. Proprietary wires Millivolt heaters Millivolt systems are typically wall heaters or floor heaters and use electricity or natural gas. These systems use much less electricity than low voltage systems and can't deliver the right amount of power to Nest thermostats. Picture of a floor furnace and wall-mounted furnace High voltage systems High voltage systems are usually electric baseboard heating systems or other radiant systems powered by electricity. High voltage thermostats are often built into the wall and typically have two to four thick wires coming out of the thermostat. Wire nuts are often used to connect the thermostat to the system wires. High voltage thermostats are usually labeled 110, 115, 120 or 240 VAC. Note: In some cases, it is possible to make a high voltage system Nest-compatible. Contact a local pro and have them install a step down transformer to 20 - 30 V. High voltage thermostats should only be installed or uninstalled by a professional due to the high voltage that they carry. high voltage text high voltage wire nut Solid fuel systems Systems that use coal, wood chips, pellets, anthracite, or other biomass materials are typically incompatible with Nest thermostats. Solid fuel system Wired remote sensors Remote sensor wires are typically used to give your thermostat outside weather data. These wires can’t be connected to Nest thermostats. But Nest thermostats don’t need wired sensors since they get weather information over Wi-Fi. Even if your system has sensor wires, it may still be Nest-compatible. Some micro-controller based systems Systems that use micro-controllers instead of relays are sometimes more sensitive to power sharing. If you have a micro-controller based system, your Nest thermostat may need a C-wire to be compatible with these systems. Systems that can’t deliver enough power Some systems can’t deliver enough power (at least 20 volts) over the existing system wires, so a Nest thermostat’s battery may slowly drain and eventually cause the thermostat to turn off. These systems are sometimes called high impedance systems. You may be able to install a C-wire to make your system compatible with a Nest thermostat. Contact a local pro. Some system hardware such as gas valves and zone or relay panels require a C-wire to work with Nest thermostats. If you would like to find out more information about installing a C-wire, contact a local pro. Gas valves Some gas valves on systems vibrate or buzz when a Nest thermostat is installed. This can usually be fixed by connecting a C-wire. Zone relay or control panels Some systems have control panels or equipment interface modules that require a C-wire to be compatible with Nest thermostats. Below is a list of some known panels that require a C-wire. This list is not meant to be comprehensive, so your system may be incompatible even if it isn’t listed here.

The Nest Thermostat E is only compatible with one stage of heating, one stage of cooling, and an additional stage of either heating or cooling. International systems Some international systems, such as Buderus boilers, have dry contacts or other incompatible wiring. These systems may require relay panels in order to be installed with standard American thermostat wiring. Heat pumps with L wires L wires are typically used to show system status, like emergency heat being on. Nest thermostats can work with systems that use Service Light (L) wires. While L wires can't be connected to the Nest thermostat, they don’t need them. The Nest thermostat and Nest app will show you system status information without connecting L wires.
