    When it comes to brands that you associate with the internet, Google is such a part of most of our everyday lives that we often forget how much of our data we directly/indirectly trust in the hands of this giant company. It was not especially surprising that the internet giant would turn it’s hand to home routers (first entering the market commercially in 2016) and now, 5 years on, we are reviewing their latest and arguably greatest router yet - the Google Nest WiFi Pro Router. That said, for all that high praise, Google has taken a rather slow and steady approach to their range of routers (only technically releasing two variations in that time prior to the Nest WiFi Pro). Back in Summer 2019, I had my first hands-on experience with the Google Mesh router system and although the system was tremendously easy to setup, it did feel surprisingly limited in its scope, bandwidth and software capabilities (especially when you think of the brand that was releasing it). Fast forward to today’s review and the brand has clearly decided to ramp up the future-proofing of their latest router device, introducing WiFi 6e support (still arguably in it’s infancy commercially) to allow access to the 6Ghz band, tri-band coverage, a new design and better uniformity between primary and node routers. But, is it any good? Let’s find out.

    2.5GbE .. What "good" is having one (1) 2.5GbE port?? Please enlighten me! N0 what you have is 2.5GbE to the Router with NO usable way to be utilized:
    1. All wired connections will be limited to 1Gbps.
    2. If wireless Backhauling is employed the WiFi 6E is used therefore your limited to WiFi 5G speeds.
    The only way that anything's usable faster than 1Gbps is to connect via Wi-Fi to the primary router and then only wirelessly and then only if you have Wi-Fi 6E on whatever devices you're connecting it to and you're incredibly close as in probably less than 20 ft (~6M).

    Need Help!
    My turn finally to buy a NAS and money isn’t an issue.
    I edit 4k multi cam vids all day long and need to work off a NAS that has caching etc. I will need raid to back up work just in case of storage failures. My vid and clips and data are at the moment at around 15T so want a system that can handle that, back it up, and extract the data whenever I need with fast speed.
    Again I want the best, something that will last years and not something that will be outdated any time soon.
    Speed is the key for me though.
    Thanks

    Thank you Rob for the quality of your videos. I can’t believe you made the effort to pronounce router the American way vs the British way and that people get upset about it. Where are we going. There is such intolerance and ignorance out there. I dont care about your accent. I care about the information you provide … and it is very good. May be you should do a video about CULTURAL DIVERSITY for the limited minds. All the best to you.

      *waves veeeeeery tiny union jack* tbh, it's ok. I'm something of a Grammer monster and almost certainly do my fair share of correcting/arguing with people. I will say that going a whole vid pronouncing it differently has now BROKEN BRAIN and I hesitate before saying the word now, as I question my own brain!

Just a bit of a Back story, I have spectrum internet. its 400mb up and 400mb down. our HOA covers our Cable, and internet, 100% so with that said I don't need to invest into anything that goes over a gigabit. I wish I did have those speeds, but the Wife and I don't pay for the internet.

    Great video by the way. Nice detailed explanation. However being British on a British channel its "rooter". Americans don't mind, I work with many and they get it. Same as US channels using "rooter" rather than their own pronunciation of "rowwter". Americans will never use "rooter" and quite right too. We should though as we are British so no need to pander to anyone.

    Neither! The Google Nest Pro is a joke as it doesn't allow you to control band steering or point steering in addition to having nodes disconnect randomly every now and then. You're much better off with a real mesh router like the ASUS XD5. Wifi 6 is sufficient as lots of devices have that, 6E is already dead and useless as Wifi 7 has been released before 6E became mainstream.

    Sorry, but the American pronunciation of "rout-er" is soooo annoying. Please stick to the correct pronunciation we do here in the UK as "rooter".
    Similarly, route is correctly pronounced as "root" not "rout"!
    I often stop listening to the yanks as soon as they pronounce this word incorrectly, same thing I'm doing to your video. Please please please stick to "root/rooter"!

    Here are the FACTS:
    * SLOW CONNECTION (wireless & wired), even with Galaxy Tab S8 ULTRA, iPad Pro M2, Z Fold 4 and PIXEL 7 PRO that all have the latest WiFi 6E modem
    * The hand-off from the main router to the satellites is NON EXISTENT, even I'm far away from it, as it will still hold on to it, rather than the satellite router that I'm 1 foot away
    * WiFi CALLING is NOT working properly, as it keeps dropping our calls
    * There's NO WAY to do a MANUAL software update
    * The customer service/technician (or whatever you call them) are ALL clueless, that I've called and chatted with them, and that they don't know NOTHING!
    I've tried over and over, using wired to my new MAC PRO, and latest Surface Studio computers, and I can't go over 400Mbps, even when I connect directly to the modem, I can reach 1000 - 1100Mbps of internet speed (I subscribed to 1 Gig (Google Fiber).
    Only LIARS will say that theirs is working properly, as I called Costco & Best Buy, and they told me that even they only selling it since last week, there's MORE RETURN than people keeping it!
    Do NOT BUY, and WAIT for GOOGLE to FIX the hardware & software, period.
    Have a great day to y'all!
