How is this different than the already existing Wifi Mesh devices?
- uniformlyrandom 7y agoThis probably replaces wifi mesh devices - eventually, or pretty soon, depending on some exec's ambition.
- albertzeyer 7y agoI also wondered about that. From the blog post: * "making it even better" * "includes the Google Assistant" (I guess this means its Google Wifi + Google Home combined?) * "Nest Wifi is more powerful than Google Wifi, delivering up to two times the speed and up to 25 percent better coverage." I'm a bit wondering why it has the "Nest" name tag.
- krisroadruck 7y agoThe 2X speed increase is just coming from better MU-MIMO adoption, moving to 4x4 on 5G from 2x2. This is pretty old tech. 4x4 MU-MIMO has been available for several years now (since 2016).
