Does anyone know if (and when) Nest Wifi Pro will be available in Australia?

Cheers!

"At this stage Google hasn’t released any Australian availability or release dates, but we’ll update with any information Google has to share."

Australia is not listed here yet either:

So it will likely not be available in Australia when it launches in the US.

Thanks All,
I'm not sure if my question has been answered as I still don't know whether Nest Wifi Pro is coming to Australia or not. However, it seems like no one knows haha

Cheers!

Hi Mel,

My question is specifically about availability in Australia (AU).

Thanks

[I_Dunno]

can I buy a pack say internationally and use it in Australia?

[olavrb]

It will probably work, but it's not recommended, maybe not even strictly legal due to differences in Wi-Fi regulations (signal strength, frequencies). See this for example:

@MrArchitect, its not yet available in Australia. We're always looking for ways to improve and will take this as feedback.

Hi folks,

Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.

Thanks,
Mel

@I_Dunno I did ask the google team in USA and they said they can only recommend purchasing google items from your country store to ensure compatibility.
I asked a dude at JB HI FI (seemed to know what he was talking about), he said it should work just fine... So I'm not sure.
Let me know if you end up buying it and if it works for you.

Cheers!
