Thursday is when all of the new hardware will be announced. The company announced two new products in a pair of posts this morning.
The company has a simple mesh wi-fi offering. The addition of wi-fi 6e is at the top of the list. The new 6 GHz radio band promises speeds up to two times faster than the standard wi-fi 6 and is referred to as the "E" there.
An ultra simple setup is the main draw of the product. Some of the most annoying things about setting up home wi-fi have been removed by the internet search engine. The new hardware promises to get things up and running in a matter of minutes.
The app can run speed tests, share passwords and keep an eye on the network. If there is a connection issue, the system will alert you and help you through the process. Content blocking is one of the family friendly features on board.
As part of a bid to make home networking devices a bit less ugly, the routers are made from recycled material and come in four pastels. The one-pack costs $200, the two-pack is $300 and the three-pack is $400. The system will ship on October 27.
A new version of the doorbell is available. The second-gen wired product has an hour of " important events" that can be found locally. The camera has been improved. Today is the day that it is available.

The redesign of the Home app will coincide with the Matter 1.0 standard being released. As an update to its smart speakers, displays and older, the new app will feature fast Matter Pairing. There are new options on board.
For me, I care most about making sure our doors are locked and viewing our security cameras, while my wife loves quick access to the thermostat. With favorites, you can set your own personalized view of the devices, actions and automations that matter most. And this also includes being able to favorite all of your Nest cameras so you can view your livestreams, right when the app opens, no additional taps required.
The Wear OS version of the app will get an update after the release of thePixel Watch.
