Hello,

My home is 1,400 square feet. Can I, therefore, just buy the router? or do I need a point as well?

With just the router in one room (and no point), will I have connectivity in rooms at the opposite end of my home?

Thanks. null

Technically that should be fine but it depends on A LOT of factors. I’d recommend (and have recommended to many people) getting the 3 pack. I have a 1700 square foot home and I’m glad I bought the 3 pack because otherwise it wouldn’t have done anything for me.

Ideally, Nest Wifi router can cover up to 2,200 sq ft. 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
