Our Verdict

Google Wifi

Google Nest Wifi Pro

The Google Nest Wifi Pro is a better router than the Google Wifi. The former is much newer and supports Wi-Fi 6E, while the latter has been discontinued and is only Wi-Fi 5. They're both mesh routers, but the Google Wifi has a poor range that's worse than most standalone routers. The Nest Wifi Pro has very good speeds and range.
