Google Wifi comes with Network Assist technology, which works behind the scenes to keep your Wi-Fi fast so you don’t have to figure out how to adjust your router. Most of us don’t want to spend time tweaking complex settings or managing our Wi-Fi network. The result is fast Wi-Fi everywhere in your house, not just right next to the router. Within our mesh network, each Google Wifi point creates a high-powered connection, and the different points work together to determine the best path for your data. The system uses a technology called mesh Wi-Fi (something usually only seen in expensive commercial installations). They connect to one another and spread a strong network signal to every room. Google Wifi is an expandable system, so for larger homes, you can simply add Google Wifi points. These days, Wi-Fi has to be able to support lots of devices at the same time, and stand up to high-bandwidth activities like streaming video or gaming - in every room of your house.

Google Wifi was designed from the ground up to support the new ways we use Wi-Fi.

Google Wifi, built on the strengths of OnHub, is our next step towards ensuring that our homes can have great Wi-Fi everywhere we need it. Last year, we introduced OnHub with partners TP-LINK and ASUS to create a better Wi-Fi experience, focusing on design and simplicity. Walls and distance make it difficult for a single device to send a strong signal to every corner of your home, resulting in slow Wi-Fi and dead zones. Most of us get Wi-Fi in our homes through a centralized router, but using a single router to spread signal throughout your whole home is like expecting one light bulb to light up every room.
