Google ‘Nest Wifi Pro’ leaks with Wi-Fi 6E, higher price, and no point unit - 9to5Google

Sep 19, 2022

Back in June, we reported that Google was working on a new Wi-Fi 6 router and it has now leaked as the “Nest Wifi Pro.”.

This device hit the FCC just over a month ago, and B&H has now listed it as the “Google Nest Wifi Pro 6E Router.” The name is presumably just “Google Nest Wifi Pro,” with the product page confirming the use of Wi-Fi 6E, which is the latest available connectivity standard that maxes out at 9.6Gbps in ideal conditions.

In terms of pricing, a single Nest Wifi Pro router costs $199 versus $169 for the 2019 Nest Wifi router and $99.99 for the relaunched Google Wifi in 2020.

This color lines up with recent products like the Pixel Buds Pro, Nest Doorbell (battery), and upcoming Pixel 7.

The “Pro” naming scheme implies that the existing Nest Wifi will stick around, and follows the Pixel 6 and 7 Pro, as well as Pixel Buds Pro

This listing clearly went up prematurely, and B&H says Google’s Nest Wifi Pro is a “New Item – Coming Soon.” It’s expected to launch at the Made by Google event on October 6 alongside the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, as well as the Pixel Watch

Google said to expect Nest hardware at this event, and this new Wi-Fi router could join the 2nd-gen Nest Doorbell (wired) that we leaked last week
