The Google Nest Wifi Pro Is Nearly 40% Off Right Now

If you’re looking for a new smart home-compatible mesh router with a minimalist appearance, the Google Nest Wifi Pro is currently marked down to $121.14 (originally $199.99). At a discount of almost 40%, this system provides comprehensive high-speed coverage for anyone experiencing dead spots or spotty wifi.

The Nest WiFi Pro supports tri-band Wi-Fi 6E, providing a fast connection and good enough range for streaming and gaming. It also has built-in Thread Radio and Matter support, ensuring compatibility with smart home devices from all brands. According to this PCMag review, setup is simple, especially for those already part of the Google ecosystem. It excels in apartments and single-story homes, and for people with homes up to 3,500 square feet, it provides consistent coverage. It is compact and modern in appearance, which may be important to you if your router is placed in a visible space.

It supports wired and wireless security with WPA3 encryption, but it doesn’t come with anti-malware software. PCMag notes that there are built-in parental controls that allow you to apply restricted access rules to certain devices with Google’s SafeSearch filtering technology.

That said, its wired connectivity is limited with only two network ports, neither of which are rated at more than 1Gbps. If your internet plan is higher than that or you need a lot of local wire transfers, this may not be the ideal choice. It also has fewer advanced settings than other routers with full web interfaces, and while it’s fast, it’s not the fastest in its class compared to competitors like the Eero Pro 6E..

If you don’t have a very large home or need a system with multi-gig capability, the Nest Wifi Pro is an easy-to-use, self-optimized mesh router with high capacity that will work well for most homes.
