Google Nest Wi-Fi Router and Point- Snow
Written by Crutchfield's Eric Angevine Ready-made, expandable mesh network
This package of a Google Nest Wifi router and one Wifi Point will help you set up a strong, fast mesh Wi-Fi network. Connect the main router near your modem then use the Point module to extend coverage to distant rooms or separate floors. If you expand in the future, just add additional Wifi Points to extend coverage as needed. In a mesh network, each module uses the same Wi-Fi network name, so you stay connected without interruption as you move around the house with your devices.
Maximum performance
Your network offers many features that keep wireless traffic flowing smoothly. MU-MIMO enables simultaneous streaming of data to multiple devices, beamforming directs Wi-Fi where it's needed most, and band steering directs your devices to channels with the best performance. Regular updates automatically improve performance and keep your network security strong and current.
Built-in speaker and voice control
The Wifi Point's sleek-looking module includes a built-in smart speaker with voice control via Google Assistant. Just say "Hey Google" and ask the device to play music, control connected smart home devices, or give you a network status update. You can even stream music to the speaker via Bluetooth® from a wide range of compatible devices.
