Some Prime Day prices are sticking around even after the main event, and if you’ve been meaning to upgrade your wifi , the Google Nest WiFi Pro might be a solid way in. It’s currently down to $149.99 from $199.99, which is a good break for a Wi-Fi 6E mesh router that offers an easy, relatively future-proof way to blanket your home with faster, more reliable internet . Setting it up is about as simple as it gets. You plug it in, use the Google Home app to get things going, and you’re done in minutes.
What stands out here is the support for Wi-Fi 6E, which adds access to the 6GHz band—a less congested lane for newer devices. If you’ve got a phone or laptop that supports it, you’ll probably notice faster speeds and more consistent connections , especially in households with multiple users streaming or gaming at once. There’s also Thread and Matter support baked in, which is good news if you’re building out a smart home. Features like MU-MIMO, QoS, and WPA3 security are all here too, so you’re not getting a stripped-down budget unit. PCMag praised its solid performance and ease of use in their review, though they noted a few limitations.
It doesn’t include a USB port or multi-gig LAN support , so if you’re into heavy-duty NAS setups or want more granular network settings, this probably isn’t your router. There’s no anti-malware layer built in either, which some competing systems offer. Also, while it runs three bands, it doesn’t let you split them into separate SSIDs, so if you like to micromanage your connections, that might feel restrictive. All said, it’s not the cheapest router out there, and you might find faster raw performance from gamer-oriented alternatives . Still, if you want something stable, hands-off, and Google-ecosystem-friendly, this offers a decent middle ground.
