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.
