Is Nest mini & Nest discontinued in India?? They don't list India in country availability section of Google Store ...
I advise holding off until they address some of the bugs. Just "upgraded" from original Google WiFi and it's been terrible.
Yes, it unfortunately has PPPoe connection locked at 50 megabits. They are apparently working on a fix, but I have been using that speed connection for now 2 weeks and it's a bit raw when I actually have a 360megabit connection.
Apart from this, the hardware looks great and the mesh connection does appear to be very good across all rooms. I am looking forward to them fixing the router issue very much so.
@@jimmyt_1988 If you have a spare unmanaged switch, install it between the modem and the Nest WIFI Pro. This fixed mine from the cap and some devices from being dropped from the network. BTW they are releasing a fix next week.
Software fix? How is it now? Thanks
Is this fixed already?
@mecit sarı i know had a software update. I haven't had any more issues.
I’m using this for almost one month now the system is ok the speed is not that great compared to other mesh system but the stability is great which I really like the only problem is that when I put my 2nd node in the master bedroom it’s always disconnecting the range is not that far from the main node actually the signal from the main node can reach in the master bedroom but not in the garage so i need to put one node in master bedroom so it can reach in the garage but the 2nd node keeps disconnecting the worse part is I can’t search any signal
Hi Mark, we're sorry for the late reply. We'd like to check why your second node keeps disconnecting. Send us a message @madebygoogle via Facebook or Twitter for more help.
I already have 4 of the previous model, does this work with those or are they getting bricked?
Am I able to put all of my smart bulbs and cameras on the guest network versus the regular network? Are there pluses or minuses to this?
Does DDNS port forward work ?
Points don’t need a Ethernet cable connection?
You can set up the nest wifi pro in HomeKit with matter? And what if i have a Modem/Router
Thanks for reaching out, Roger. Yes, you could set up your Nest Wifi Pro with Matter-enabled devices. Learn more here: goo.gle/3sACIEA
Does it matter what type of MODEM I use or do I need some special type of modem for this?
Makes no difference, just turn off the WiFi on it.
If it helps anyone, and your wifi points can’t connect (connection failed) and you’re on iOS, disable private relay for installation 🙄
How do you turn that off? I have the same issue, points cannot connect.
Hey Laeeq, we're sorry for the late reply. We'd like to check why your Google Wifi points can't connect. Send us a message @madebygoogle via Facebook or Twitter for more help.
@@laeeq482 On your iPhone go to settings -> yourname/appleID -> icloud -> Private Relay -> turn off. Once I turned this off my points were able to connect to eachother
Awesome
Thank you for support🎉😢
I can not get the blue light from a second nest pro when trying to set it up as a point. Both work if I try to use them as routers but not as points. It seems i can not get the blue light with no Ethernet cable comnected to my modem
Thanks for posting, Diego. We're here for you - try rebooting your modem along with your Google Nest Wifi Pro point for two minutes. Also, resetting it to default settings then setting it up again might help. If you need more assistance, reach out to us here: goo.gle/3M9wLJn
@@madebygoogle I got it working. I had to use both as router once, and do a factory reset on both. Now both are working, one as router and the second as point.
Helpful 🥰
That's the goal! 💪
Google put some stats display on these devices. It’s so difficult to tell the model number, sad
We hear you, Zulu. For more details, this might help: goo.gle/3shYcJp
Does it work for games
When will it get released in Australia?
Hi Onel, thanks for the interest. We don't have any details to share about the availability of Nest Wifi Pro in Australia, but we're always looking for ways to improve and we'll take this as feedback. Stay tuned to our social channels for news and updates.
That’s a kinda shit reply, Google. Why is it not yet available in Australia?? Or is this going to be like the Nest doorbell all over again when Aussie have to wait years for it???
Would be good to know of a release date in Australia.
So do I need anything else for this to work besides this or is this it??
Hi there, thanks for posting. Yes, that's all you need to set up Nest Wifi Pro. For more details, check this out: goo.gle/39avrz9
I am have difficulty setting up the few devices I have that are hard ethernet connected. I've tried to plug in netgear switch and have even run a direct cable to a local PC. Nothing works. I've even verified there nothing wrong with the router by plugging it into the PC and that works fine. Its' like the Google device is not putting out a signal for the ethernet hard wire?
Hey there, thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with your device. We'd suggest restarting your network connection including your router. If the issue persists, perform a factory reset on your device and see if it helps. You may reach out to us through our phone, chat, and other social media channels here: goo.gle/3ie15Ae
Hey Google, what about those of us who got the "Beta" Nest WiFi "Pro" system? Dropping internet 4-5x a day; requiring reset constantly.
Hey there, we appreciate you reaching out and letting us know about what's happening with your Nest Wifi Pro. We'd like you to get the most out of it - for best results, make sure all your devices are within 20-25 feet of each other and all of its Ethernet cables are properly connected. If you need more help, you can also reach out to us through our support channels: goo.gle/3ie15Ae
@@madebygoogle oh believe me, support knows about it. I had to send mine back, because it was so unusable and I need it for work. I am, and have been, a hardcore Google product user for years. I was really excited about the new Nest Wi-Fi Pro, because we just moved and I'm setting the entire house up with Google and Nest products. But because of the return window, I had to send it back. If you want to send me another one to continue to work The kinks out, I'll gladly accept one and pay for it when it gets to the point where all the bugs are fixed. I'll keep running my gen 1 Google Wi-Fi for work purposes while partnering to help make the nest Wi-Fi Pro functional.
So the new pro has no speakers but each point vs the single router now has a Ethernet port?
Has anyone had difficulty setting this up with an existing Sonos system?
Aside from wirelessly transferring files between devices inside my home, I don't understand the point of having a device that touts faster wifi speeds than its WAN port. How am I supposed to use this with my mediocre fiber optic plan? (1.5gbps)
It's super disappointing because I really like the Google nest wifi home management but it's not worth handicapping my network speeds. I can use the crappy router my ISP gave me and get better speed and have a 2.5 GB connection to my editing computer. But I lose the really slick google home management. A pair of 2.5gbps ports on just one point would make this system worthwhile.
What your asking for isn’t a very consumer based product, 300mbps is enough for most people, never mind 1gb
@@exo_7536 sure, but they market it as over 1gb. Being a consumer does not mean "please dupe me".
Can we still play music or ask question like from the previous model
Hi there, thanks for the interest. After thorough research and feedback from customers and retail partners, we’ve learned users appreciate a dedicated networking system. Removing the Google Assistant speaker allows us to expand our reach and offer Nest Wifi Pro at a more affordable price point.
@@madebygoogle so does it have voice assistant ? Or it’s just a router ?
Sounds like just a router. Crazy. They added a Ethernet port to each vs the old system that only the router had one and each extended point did not but it did have a speaker. Two steps backwards one step forward. He who builds this stuff never uses it in the field.. 😢

If your modem speeds are 100mpbs will you get more than this or just 100mps
Hey JB, thanks for reaching out. Nest Wifi Pro is capable of 5.4 Gbps (4.2 Gbps outside of the US) as the combined speed across multiple devices over wireless and 1 Gbps is the max Ethernet throughput. Actual speeds will depend on your internet service provider, network conditions, connected devices, local regulations, and environmental factors.
@@madebygoogle I was just wondering because I have Vodafone pro 2 ultra hub
It betters coverage not increase speed
Can it Erasers or clear history device?///
Hi there, thanks for the interest. Clearing history devices on the Nest Wifi Pro devices isn't supported. However, if a device is left offline for over 6 months, Google automatically deletes the cloud data. We're always looking for ways to improve and we'll take this as feedback. Stay tuned to our social channels for news and updates.
I can’t understand why google does not have a tool to backup your previous google nest and restore the settings to the new one. This is something other manufacturers do for their routers.
Does this have google assistant/speaker?
Would I be able to use this in conjuction with a Coda 4680 modem? I have cable internet and I'm wondering if I can just do a straight ethernet connection between the Nest Pro and my Coda but worried that will affect speed and/or reach.
Hey Andrew, thanks for reaching out. You can plug your ISP-provided modem directly to your Nest Wifi Pro. Learn more here: goo.gle/3ouWiU7
I just got one...and its been a headache. The advanced settings are buried in app and setting it up right with terrible help line was a pain
😍
So we still need a service provider🤔

Do i have to change my existing name and password or can i use the same name and password
Thanks for reaching out, TJ. To keep all of your devices connected, we suggest reusing the same network name (SSID) and password as your old router. More details here: goo.gle/3Gp89sr
"Adding WiFi Point to your Wi-Fi network" ends up with "something went wrong" I even put the point next to the WiFi router. Spent almost 2 hours and no mesh network and points do not function.
We're sorry to hear that, Alexandre. You can try performing a factory reset on your new Nest Wifi point. Also, reinstalling the Google home app could help. You can reach out to us via phone or chat here: goo.gle/3ruUifP
What a nightmare. 1 month, 3 service techs and 2 “outdoor” service teams and it still doesn’t work.
How to force it to work in 6ghz?
Unfortunately, we can’t force your devices to connect in 6 GHz band. It's all up to your device's capabilities and network conditions. But no worries, your Nest Wifi Pro will do its best to choose the band that'll give you the best performance for your specific device. For more details, have a look at this article: goo.gle/3S7zp5p
@@madebygoogle Muh, I can't force my iPhone 15 pro max to work in 6ghz. Even when my phone is directly in front of the nest. I bought this router only because of 6E features. Waste of money I gues.
good google
💪🙌
I can't set up my Nest WiFi Pro, connect to the Internet or anything.
Thanks for posting, Sebastian. You could try moving your devices closer to your modem and Nest Wifi Pro router for a better connection. More details here: goo.gle/4a3XNek
please add the ability to disable band steering or separate the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz SSID. Some phone have issues steering the network especially samsung and i get disconnected every 30 seconds.
Hi there, we hear you. We're always looking for ways to improve - we'll take having the option to separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands on Nest Wifi Pro as feedback. For more help, reach out via phone, chat, or social channels: goo.gle/3ie15Ae
@@madebygoogle Thanks so much.
I agree. We have over 30 different devices in the house and some of them seem to struggle with this more than others. Being able to create an additional SSID was usually the fastest way to fix this problem with other equipment I have used.
Hey there, thanks for your interest. We're always looking for ways to improve and we'll take this as feedback. Stay tuned to our social channels for updates and announcements!
@Made by Google That would be nice. Unfortunately, my Sonos products don't like the current setup. I can't use them wireless. Everything else works perfectly fine.
So its impossible to connect this to anything under pro? Do i really have to buy more pro routers? This sh!t is putridd
Who tf has a modem lol
It’s not working at all .pathetic product
How to set it up? put it back in the box and send it back for a refund.
Hi there, we're sorry for the trouble and we hope we can make this up to you in the future. On the other hand, here's how to set up the Nest Wifi Pro using the Google Home app on your phone: goo.gle/39avrz9 For more help, reach out through phone, chat, or social forums: goo.gle/2XkizlG
Its not a setup problem. Its a firmware problem (your end) Im a ex computer tech - your "tech help" is done by people who arnt techs so arnt any help.
It doesn't replace your existing router! It creates another wifi network on top of the one you already have. Why it doesn't emulate and expand the existing wifi network?? Who knows. But now you need to change all the wifi devices in your home over to this other network... I guess. Or just the Google related stuff... thanks for the issues google. I have an idea: it should be illegal to call something smart if it just isn't that. Tired of words having not only double meanings but completely opposite. Rant
Hey Kurt, using Wi-Fi 6E, Nest Wifi Pro replaces a single router network with multiple routers to reach all your devices where you want them. During setup, you can create your own network and password, hence the option to use your existing Wi-Fi settings (SSID/passphrase).

@@madebygoogle why is there any other option??
@Made by Google also that does literally nothing except change the name of the network....
Can I have my cable modem in the basement and my 1st Nest WiFi Pro via Ethernet one floor up without speed losses?
@Leave the Road Take The Trails My first wifi pro is on a 20-foot ethernet cable. I don't think there is a speed problem.
I had a hard time setting it up..Too difficult..returning it back to the store
