Google Nest Hub and Wifi Point

Derek4213 — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 18:21:57 GMT

Does Google make a Nest Hub, that also functions as a wifi point extender?
Cant find it anywhere, but would definitely buy a nest hub if it would help extend my WiFi range.
Would it be that difficult to combine the 2? seems like a no brainer

Hello @Derek4213

This does not appear to be available at this time. I can certainly see the advantage in having fewer things plugged in various places. On the other hand, optimal placement of Google/Nest WiFi mesh points may not match where you would like to have Nest Hub units deployed for interactive use. It can also be hard to integrate multiple features into a single device, though they have already done something similar with the Nest WiFi Point having smart speaker features built in. So, who knows? You may want to use the "Feedback" feature in the Google Home app to send this suggestion more directly to Google.

Read this before you buy... Pls go thru the long list of posts on this issue / distilled as follows
1. Google lost a lawsuit to SONOS and released an update late 2019 to remove the offending code
2. This update resulted in random and intermittent WiFi going offline (same as you mentioned)
3. The Google Community Expert has been posting every month or so that they are looking into the matter, but that is all we hear from Google (which is shameful)
4. Many users have tried Factory Reset etc (I have too) but to no avail
5. I had a Google Nest Router + 3 Nest Points and yesterday spent USD 400 to buy the Linksys Atlas Pro 6 (3 Pack) and have put the Google Nest (1+4) into cold storage (what a waste of USD 600)
6. The situation is exasperating and Google is showing their true colours as an IT behemoth
