Adding Wifi points depends on your Wi-Fi needs. Ideally, Nest Wifi router can cover up to 2,200 sq ft and 1,600 sq ft for one Nest Wifi point. But where they are placed, the layout of your house, and physical obstructions can impact the total coverage. Keep in mind that barriers like heavy furniture and walls made of thick concrete or brick can influence Wi-Fi performance. For an estimate of how much Wi-Fi coverage you’ll get with Nest Wifi and a guide to how many Wifi points you need check here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7182840 A mesh network is a group of devices that act as a single Wi-Fi network; so there are multiple sources of Wi-Fi around your house, instead of just a single router. They can provide better coverage over a wider space. These additional Wi-Fi sources are called points. All points are connected to each other wirelessly. As long as they are within range, they can communicate with one another wirelessly without the need for a router or switch. This allows for fast and efficient data routing.
