As 9to5google writes, an unknown source has given the online magazine new details about the upcoming Google Nest Wifi series mesh routers. The new devices should have Wi-Fi 6. The models may already support Wi-Fi 6E. However, there is no confirmation for this yet. With Wi-Fi 6, the wireless routers are able to transfer data at speeds of up to 9.6 gigabits per second.
The current Nest models…
…and Google Wifi (2020)
The Google Nest Wifi is available as both a router and a mesh access point. While the router is connected to a modem, the mesh devices ensure that the range of the network is increased. The original variant, released in 2016 under the name Google Wifi, and the redesign from the year before last used the same hardware for the router and the mesh amplifiers. When the Nest Wifi system was added to the range in 2019, Google introduced two different variants. The Nest Wifi Access Point could also be used as a voice assistant.
There is no longer a distinction between two variants
That should change again with the new edition. In terms of design and hardware, there is no longer a distinction between router and mesh point. However, it is still unclear whether the new model also has the Google Assistant.
The Google Nest Wifi new edition may appear in different color variants. In addition to the colors already known, some new models could be offered. The devices should see the light of day in autumn. It is conceivable that Google will present the new Nest Wifi together with the Pixel 7 and bring it to market a short time later.
