Google Nest Wifi Pro

Recently a new update started rolling out to Nest Wifi Pro owners, but it comes with an annoying bug that is breaking some Matter smart home gear for users.

The Nest Wifi Pro received its last update in October and Google is currently rolling out a new March 2024 software release.

Google’s Nest Wifi Pro is a stellar product and one that’s still a leading option among home networking gear. As with anything, though, a new generation is always in the pipeline, but a new icon for the “Nest Wifi Pro 2” isn’t what it seems.

Google has released a May 2023 update for the Nest Wifi Pro that should fix incorrect speed test results and improve overall performance.

Google’s line of Nest Wifi routers have lost a feature, with the “Gaming preferred” toggle disappearing in the hours before Stadia’s shutdown.

After a holiday season with only one discount, the LTE Pixel Watch is now $30 off at the Google Store and other US retailers.

The Nest Wifi Pro is just over a month old, and the first discount on the Wi-Fi 6E system is now available from the US Google Store.

As promised, Google has rolled out an update for low Nest Wifi Pro speeds with PPPoE settings, while an issue with the Home app’s built-in speed test has been identified.

The Nest Wifi Pro has only been available for a few days now, but some customers are already seeing an issue that limits their download speeds to 50Mbps.

Update: Google has provided a timeline for when this issue will be fixed.

Last week, Google emailed some Nest Wifi owners about a 30% Nest Wifi Pro discount, and the company is reaching out again through the Google Home app.

The Nest Wifi Pro officially launches today, and Google is giving some Nest Wifi owners a 30% discount to encourage upgrades.

Nest Wifi Pro is designed to be the perfect investment for upgrading your office in the work-from-home era, but are the benefits of Wi-Fi 6E worth the increased cost?

The third episode of the Made by Google podcast interviews Isabelle Olsson — Senior Director, Design for Wearables, Nest, and CMF (Color, Material, and Finish) — about the design of the Pixel Watch, the glossy Nest Wifi Pro, and picking the Pixel 7 colors.

While Google has made a name for itself by making mesh Wi-Fi easy with Google Wifi and Nest Wifi, that simplicity is undercut by the routers’ lack of longevity, and the Nest Wifi Pro needs to tackle that head-on.

I’ve been all-in on Google’s smart home ecosystem for the past several years, but with the soft reboot in 2021, things started falling apart, and frankly, I was getting tired of it. Over the past couple of months, I’ve been prepared to throw out my entire Nest ecosystem and move on to something else. But with new hardware and a revamped app that shows the company is actually listening to customers, Google just earned a second chance.

With the announcement of the Nest Wifi Pro today, it seems the Google Store didn’t take the time to remove all of the references to Stadia.

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.

We’re just a few short days away from Google’s hardware event on October 6, which is set to bring the Pixel 7 phones and quite a bit more. From the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro to all the latest Nest smart home gear, here’s everything we’re expecting Google to announce.
