- Network
- Band Technology: Tri (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number Of Connected Devices: 100
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz, 6.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 6E (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)

- Input/Output Technology: MU-MIMO (Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple Output) (Generally, multiple-input multiple-output communication technologies allow for more signals to be transmitted at a single time, which can improve the device's overall performance.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 6.0Ghz Streams: 2
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home.

A: Yes. When I first purchased my tv the wireless in it was dropping because it was connecting to the 2.4GHz. The only way around that was to buy a mesh node and wire the tv to that. It worked like a charm until my tv got an update. At that point it no longer needed to be wired to a node.
A: Gigabit. Vanilla gigabit.
A: Hello there, Ron. Thanks for your interest. Nest Wifi Pro requires to be connected to a modem with broadband internet connection from an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Check out this link for the setup requirements and guide: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9548301
A: The 2nd one will be wireless. You can also plug a device without a wireless card into the network port on the 2nd device and have wired internet in that room also.
A: Hey there. The Nest Wifi Pro is only a router. It does not have an integrated modem. You'll need to connect your internet service provider (ISP)'s modem to the Nest Wifi Pro to provide internet connectivity to your devices.
A: You’ll need to buy two. One would have to be connected to your modem and then the second would be act as an extender.

Nice upgrade, much better than I expected!
Purchased over a month ago and I'm extremely pleased. Upgraded from an older Google mesh system. From the Google home app. I deleted the old mesh system then started from scratch. I added the first router in the office and after setup Google added everything from the old system. within 5 minutes the hole house was setup. Security cameras, smart switches, smart bulbs and plugs. Next I added the 2nd router in the living room and setup this router, then repeated the same thing in our garage. Living in a brick home getting a signal in the garage at the opposite end of the house was almost impossible. Now my garage door openers are getting 99% signal and both Driveway and Patio cameras are getting a great signal now along with the video doorbell. It's great to open my SimpliSafe app. and having my 6 cameras all up and running fast without a glitch. I have the office, living room hard wired and the garage is Wi-Fi. Running speed tests, I'm getting an average 580 Mbps! I have Spectrum and signed up for 500Mbps and it's been rock solid. I'm even using Wi-Fi and I'm getting well over 430 Mbps. Now I can really setup a smart home! Picked this 3-pack at BestBuy on sale for $349.00.

Stylish, functional, and a breeze to set up!
I purchased these to help with Wifi coverage issues we were experiencing in our home and to support the growing number of smart devices we have. I went back and forth between this model and the older Nest Wifi model (which was significantly cheaper). I ultimately decided on these as they support Matter and the newer Wifi standard (WiFi 6/6e), which should hopefully carry me through the next few years. I've only had them set up for a few days now, but I'm happy to report they're working as intended! Setup was super easy (it was up and running in 10 minutes), and the coverage and speeds we are getting are significantly better than before. They're also stylish little things, and while they don't exactly blend into their enviornment, they're much less of an eye sore than some of the other options on the market. 5/5, I definitely recommend this product.

Amazing Upgrade with Google Nest Wifi Pro 6e
I've used Google Nest products for a while, and I really like the new Google Nest Wifi Pro 6e. It's much faster and doesn't lose connection like the older model. Pros: The Nest Wifi Pro 6e is super fast, so playing games and watching videos online is great. It doesn't lose connection as often as the old one. It works better when you have lots of devices using the internet at the same time. Cons: The Nest Wifi Pro 6e costs more than the old model, which might be too much for some people. If you have a small home or not many devices, you might not need the new one. The old one could work just fine. Even with these small issues, I think the Google Nest Wifi Pro 6e is worth it for anyone who wants a good internet connection at home. I give it 5 stars because it's made my internet so much better.
