Google has removed the Google Wifi and Nest Wifi routers from its store, possibly in anticipation of a new model. Last year, Google introduced the Nest Wifi Pro with Wi-Fi 6E connectivity and Matter support, and it's speculated that a new Nest Wifi model codenamed "Brezza" may be on the horizon. While the older hardware is still available at other retailers, stock is expected to deplete in the coming weeks.
Google is offering a significant discount on its Nest Wifi router, with a single router now priced at $59, down from $169. The sale is in effect until December 31, 2023. However, the Nest Wifi point and bundles are not discounted. This fire sale comes amid reports that Google is working on a new Nest Wifi, raising speculation about the future of the current lineup. Inventory for Nest Wifi is running low at other retailers, while Google Wifi and Nest Wifi Pro are still in stock.
Google's Nest WiFi system, a mesh network option, is on sale on Amazon. A two-pack of the Nest WiFi system has dropped to $100, which is the lowest price to date. The two-pack includes a router and a point, while a three-pack is also on sale. Each Nest router and point can connect to as many as 100 devices simultaneously. Those looking for a higher-end option might want to consider the Nest WiFi Pro 6E system, which offers faster speeds and lower latencies than WiFi 6 and earlier standards.
Some Google Home app users are seeing “Wi-Fi Labs” for their Nest Wifi router to try out experimental features. This page is pitched as letting you try “new features” for your Google/Nest Wifi router. Of particular note is the ability to “Update AP Software Channel” to stable, beta, or dev. There’s a dogfood icon next to this menu. These five options seem more catered towards Googler testing rather than something user-facing.
