The Nest Wifi Pro not only features a brand-new design but it's also available in more colors to better match your home's decor. If you're still undecided, check out our Nest Wifi vs Nest Wifi Pro guide. Still, if you have gigabit internet and want to take full advantage of your internet plan, upgrading to the Nest Wifi Pro makes sense. Also, unlike the Nest Wifi which features smart speaker functionality, the Nest Wifi Pro and its satellites can't be used like the best Google Home Speakers. For starters, Google's latest mesh Wi-Fi system isn't compatible with its previous mesh networking products.
INTERNET ROUTER WIRELESS UPGRADE
The Nest Wifi Pro provides a big speed upgrade over the original Nest Wifi with Wi-Fi 6E support though there are a few downsides to be aware of. Read our full Netgear Orbi WiFi 6E (RBKE963) review. You'll also have to pay for tech support after 90 days. However, if you can afford to pay for this mesh system, you won't mind.

Netgear offers trial subscriptions to its Armor security software, which includes Bitdefender antivirus, and parental controls.


At a distance of 15 feet, the router's 6-GHz channel delivered throughput of more than a gigabit per second.Įach unit has 12 antennas and four Ethernet ports (one rated at 2.5 Gbps), and the system creates channels on the 2.5, 5 and 6-Ghz bands, plus a fourth 5-Ghz one for backhaul between units. The Orbi WiFi 6E can cover up to 9,000 square feet but adding a third satellite can expand this up to 12,000 square feet. But if you have money to burn, a gigabit broadband connection from your ISP and an enormous house, then this is probably the mesh system for you. Netgear's Orbi WiFi 6E (model number RBKE963) is one of the best mesh Wi-Fi systems on the planet - and also one the most expensive.
