What Google Wifi does (and why it's cool) Google Wifi is a home mesh Wi-Fi system that replaces your traditional router and provides seamless, reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home. You’ll still need an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and a modem to connect to the internet. You can quickly set up multiple Google Wifi devices (we call them “points”) to bring the internet right where you want it—your office, living room, garage, or basement. For a refresher on Wi-Fi terms and concepts, check out our Wi-Fi basics. Google Wifi is built on our mesh Wi-Fi technology. Once you set up your mesh network, the Google Wifi points create a high-powered connection and work together to make sure your devices stay on the clearest channel with the fastest bandwidth. The result is fast Wi-Fi everywhere in your house, not just right next to the router. You can even roam throughout the house while on a video call or while streaming a movie without the signal dropping. Google Wifi can be used as a standalone system or be combined with Nest Wifi for additional coverage.
