Google Nest Wifi Pro is the simplest mesh option here for homes that already run on Google Home. Google lists tri-band Wi-Fi 6E with a 6 GHz band and combined speeds up to 5.4 Gbps, and says one router covers up to 2200 square feet; extra routers act as points to extend coverage. It has a built-in Thread border router and is built with Matter, so it can connect Thread and Matter smart home devices without a separate hub. The Google Home app sets it up and includes parental controls, Wi-Fi schedules, internet time-outs and a guest network at no additional cost. Google says it monitors the network and fixes common issues itself, and secure booting with automatic updates covers security. The trade-offs are that it is Wi-Fi 6E rather than Wi-Fi 7 and offers few advanced settings. The Google Store listed it from $199.99 when we checked. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the router ourselves.
