The way you use the Internet at home has changed. You no longer simply connect to it via your computer or a streaming device. Now you have light bulbs, washing machines, appliances, smart speakers, and all kinds of other devices running off the Internet. This means you not only need a strong Internet connection but you need it to blanket your entire home. A dead spot might mean you can’t control a light or tell your front door to lock. This is where the new Google Nest WiFi comes in.
Google has rebranded its mesh Internet hardware. Using the Nest brand name (which originally started as a smart thermostat the company eventually bought out), small Nest WiFi points are placed around the house. These look like small, individual speakers. These help create an Internet mesh, which covers your entire home with a strong Internet connection. Additionally, each point has a Google Home speaker built-in, so you can converse with Google Assistant wherever you are.
