Overview
Beamforming in both pieces aims WiFi at individual devices, helping this Google Nest router and point spread signal across the home. The point doubles as a speaker, and family controls pause internet on kids' devices.
Easy setup and family screen time controls make it friendly for households with kids. Older WiFi and limited wired ports hold it back for power users.
Who it's for
Parents who want to pause internet at bedtime and cover a mid-size home get an easy system. Tech-heavy homes needing newer WiFi and more ports should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Covers a sizable home
- Point doubles as a speaker
- Family screen time controls
- Expandable with more points
- Older WiFi generation
- Wired ports only on router
- Thick walls may need extra points
- Dimensions not listed
Performance notes
Coverage comes from the point relaying signal from the router, so placement between them shapes speeds in far rooms. Layout and wall materials affect reach, and long or thick-walled homes may need extra points.
