Google Nest Wi-Fi
FROM £129 | BUY FROM STORE.GOOGLE.COM | WORKS WITH GOOGLE HOME
A mesh Wi-Fi router spreads Wi-Fi signal throughout your home, regardless of walls or inconvenient layouts. It consists of ‘hubs’ you plug in around the house to demolish dead zones. While not the fastest or most advanced mesh system available, Google Nest Wi-Fi fits excellently into a smart home for two reasons: it works as a ‘hub’ for some connected gadgets, and doubles as a smart speaker. Each ‘point’ is also a Google Assistant voice speaker, spreading Wi-Fi and voice control all over your home. Plus, it’s simple to set up and run. You manage it from Google Home’s app on your smartphone, and there are built-in parental controls that give you the ability to shut down connectivity to your kids’ devices with just a word – ideal for getting them to the dinner table on time.
