Whether you’re just starting out, or already have a Smart Home and want to give it a performance boost, your Wi-Fi is important to consider. After all, each device is connected to the internet — so the faster your internet is, the faster your Smart Home will be.

But it’s not just about speed, it’s also about reach. You don’t want any Wi-Fi dead zones because you’ll limit the capability of your Smart Home design. For instance, say you want to keep an eye on your new puppy while you’re at work. If you find that perfect spot for your Nest Cam to overlook where he spends most of his time, you don’t want to miss all the puppy hijinks just because the Wi-Fi doesn’t reach it.

When it comes to getting high-speed internet through your entire home, we recommend Google Nest Wifi.

Expert recommendation: Google Nest Wifi

After completing countless successful designs and installs, our Smart Home experts agree the Google Nest Wifi router and point are hard to beat. Here’s how it works.

The router creates a local area network (LAN) within your house, while a point extends the reach of your network and allows you to add more devices to it. The router with just one point is powerful enough to handle up to 200 connected devices and fast enough to stream multiple 4K videos at a time.

Think about it as if each point is a permanent hotspot that you can put anywhere in your home, creating a seamless whole-home connection. Plus each one is also a voice-activated smart speaker with Google Assistant, so you can listen to music, control Wi-Fi-connected devices, get answers and much more!
