“Google Nest Wifi Pro” leak
According to the latest report from 9to5 Google, the online listing of the rumored Google Nest router on e-commerce platform B&H gives us a better idea of what to expect.
And it appears that the upcoming Google router will come with Wi-Fi 6E support and a pricier price tag, the leaked online listing suggests.
The listing bears the product name “Google Nest Wifi Pro 6E Router,” suggesting the rumored device will debut with that name.

Google Nest Wifi Pro hints at Wi-Fi 6E support and higher prices.
The leak also suggests that it will come in four color options such as: B. white, brown, yellow-green and light blue. These shades have catchy nicknames, including Snow, Linen, Lemongrass, and Fog, respectively.
But given that the new rumored router is rocking a “Pro” name, that loosely suggests it’s a high-end option over the current Google Nest Wifi. It should work similarly as more premium Pixel phones get the same moniker as the Google Pixel 7 Pro.
The leaked product name clearly indicated that the new Nest Wifi router will readily offer faster speeds thanks to its Wi-Fi 6E support.
Wi-Fi 6E: Is it worth a look?
According to a message from The Verge, the all-new Wi-Fi 6E is a huge upgrade over previous technology.
For starters, it brings an additional 6GHz band alongside the good old 2.4GHz and 5GHz that most routers offer these days.
Essentially, this new band impressively speeds up the Internet connection. 9to5 Google notes in the same report that it averages up to a whopping 9.6 Gbps.
It’s worth noting, however, that the new 6GHz band will require devices that also support it easily, which is rare, at least for now.
But alongside faster speeds, the new band promises to reduce signal interference, which has been a frustrating issue at 5GHz.

While the Wi-Fi 6E support doesn’t come as a huge shock given it appeared on the FCC listing last month, the leaked listing covers its pricing details.
9to5 Google reports that the B&H listing of the Google Nest Wifi Pro reveals it will retail for $199.99.
