Amazon's Prime Day is here, and if your Wi-Fi has been struggling to keep up, it's the right time to think about an upgrade. A mesh system is an elegant solution to the challenge of broadcasting high-speed 5GHz Wi-Fi throughout the house.
Nest Wifi is a whole-home mesh Wi-Fi system from Google that can grow to fit your home with multiple options for future expansion. The best mesh systems are flexible in both deployment and expansion with node options that work in a variety of spaces. Nest Wifi can be expanded with Nest Wifi routers, Nest Wifi points, and Google Wifi routers, with the best performance coming with Nest Wifi routers at the full AC2200 speed possible.
During Prime Day, you can get a Nest Wifi two-pack for 30% off of its normal price. That works out to just $209. Don't confuse this pack with the cheaper Nest Wifi kit featuring a slower Nest Wifi point. Both nodes in this package operate at the full AC2200 speed and cover up to 2200 square feet each.

Cover up to 4400 square feet with these two Nest Wifi routers with plenty of speed for fast internet connections. Setup is simple with the Google Home app, and updates are frequent and automatic to make sure you're protected against exploits. Nest Wifi can also expand with support for the smart Nest Wifi point and Google Wifi routers.
Poor Wi-Fi performance can be a symptom of dozens of problems. So to know if a mesh system like Nest Wifi is the right solution for your home, be sure to try out some speed tests. You can download the Speedtest app from the app store or just search "speed test" on Google. Then, do a few tests moving away from your router as they complete; focus on the download speeds. If speeds drop off substantially as you move away from your router, Nest Wifi might be the perfect solution.
This Nest Wifi bundle comes with two Nest Wifi routers that operate at AC2200 speeds and cover up to 2200 square feet. This router has two Ethernet ports on the bottom so you can connect your wired devices. One port on the base router will need to be used to connect to your modem at all times, so with this kit, you have Ethernet ports for three devices. You can also link these routers with a long Ethernet cable if you have a lot of interference between the two routers.
The app will let you know if there are connection issues between the nodes so if you're not sure, start with just the routers in this pack and expand as needed. For most homes, these two nodes will have more than enough coverage.
Keep in mind that you will still need to keep your modem. If you're using cable or fiber, you've likely been supplied with a box covered in flashing lights by your provider. You will need to connect your Nest Wifi directly to this. You will also need a Google account to use Nest Wifi with the Google Home app.
