The headline here is obviously Wi-Fi 6E, with radios in each Nest Wifi Pro device designed to send signals in the 6GHz band. With enough space to support several full-width, 160MHz channels at once, it’s a much wider swath of bandwidth than 2.4 or 5GHz, and it offers faster top speeds than other bands, too. The Nest Wifi Pro capitalizes on this, with an AXE5400 build that promises to offer combined speeds from all three of its bands of up to 5.4 gigabits per second (5,400Mbps). That’s a notable jump from the original Nest Wifi, which is an AC2200 system promising combined-band speeds of up to 2.2Gbps.

Nest Wifi Pro adds faster speeds and Wi-Fi 6E, which could be compelling We’ve looked at the features Nest Wifi Pro left out — now, let’s look at what the system added in.
All of that said, the Nest Wifi Pro’s speeds didn’t exactly wow us when we tested the system out on a gigabit network. Running speed tests across five rooms in a 1,350-square-foot test environment, the system returned overall average download speeds of 482 megabits per second to a Wi-Fi 6 laptop, and 524Mbps to a Wi-Fi 6E smartphone. Those speeds were incredibly stable and consistent across the entire test space, but they were beat out by other Wi-Fi 6E systems in the same tests, including the similarly specced Eero Pro 6E, which returned average Wi-Fi 6 downloads of 586Mbps and gadgetinku average Wi-Fi 6E downloads of 708Mbps. Granted, that system costs more than the Nest Wifi Pro, but still, it would have been nice to have seen faster speeds for a brand-new, high-profile system, especially over Wi-Fi 6E.
