  • B&H has spilled the beans on Google’s upcoming Nest Wifi router product.
  • The rumored Nest Wifi Pro will allegedly cost $200 for a single pack and $400 for a three-pack.
  • The router is also said to be available in four color variants in line with other Pixel and Nest products.

An online retail listing has leaked pricing and color options for the expected launch of the next-gen Nest Wifi routers, which will have a major upgrade onboard and will be available in a number of colors.

According to a B&H listing, there will be a $200 price for a single pack. There will be a two-pack for $300 and a three-pack for $400 if there isn't enough.

The listings seem to corroborate a previous rumor indicating a major upgrade. According to the name of the device, it will support the wi-fi 6e standard. Since the introduction of wi-fi 6, the competition has been more or less level. Many of the best mesh wi-fi routers, such as the Amazon Eero 6, support newer network standards, so it's odd that it took so long. It is a welcome upgrade.

The 6 GHz to 7 GHz bandwidth range is a big part of the reduction in interference promised by the wi-fi 6e It means to go faster. The addition of Thread mesh networking radios was revealed in an FCC listing.
