What is Google Wifi?

What Google Wifi does

• Google Wifi is a home mesh Wi-Fi system that replaces your traditional router and provides seamless, reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home. You still need an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and modem to connect to the internet.
• You can quickly set up multiple Google Wifi devices (also known as "points") to bring the internet right where you want it, like in your office, living room, garage, or basement. For a refresher on Wi-Fi terms and concepts, check out Wi-Fi basics.
• Google Wifi is built on our mesh Wi-Fi technology. Once you set up your mesh network, the Google Wifi points create a high-powered connection and work together to make sure your devices stay on the clearest channel with the fastest bandwidth. The result is fast Wi-Fi everywhere in your home, not just right next to the router. You can even roam throughout your home while on a video call or stream a movie without the signal dropping.
• Google Wifi can be used as a standalone system or be combined with Nest Wifi for additional coverage.

What you need

• A modem
• Internet service
• A Google Account
• One of the following mobile devices:
  • Android phone or tablet with Android 9.0 or later
  • iPhone or iPad with iOS 16.0 or later
• The latest version of the Google Home app on Android or iOS

Note: It's strongly recommended you purchase Google Wifi from the country where you'll be using it. Since wireless regulations vary by country, you might experience performance or regulator violation issues if you move your Wifi device(s) to a different country and Google will be unable to offer support.

Frequently asked questions

¹_{Router placement and home size, materials and layout can affect how Wi-Fi signal travels. Poor placement and larger homes with thicker walls or long, narrow layouts might need extra Wifi points for full coverage. Strength and speed of signal will also depend on your internet provider. More than 5 points in a network might result in degraded performance and isn't recommended.}
