Nest Wifi Pro vs. Eero Pro 6E: Which Wi-Fi 6E Mesh Router Is Best?

Upgrading to a mesh router that uses multiple devices to relay a better Wi-Fi signal throughout your home is pretty close to a no-brainer at this point, especially if you live in a large, multistory home. You’ve got lots of options, including two notable new systems from Google and Amazon: the Nest Wifi Pro and the Eero Pro 6E, respectively.

Each system promises top-of-the-line mesh performance thanks to the addition of Wi-Fi 6E, a new designation for current-gen, Wi-Fi 6 devices that are equipped to send signals in the recently opened 6GHz band. Both promise to quarterback your smart home, too, with full support for the industry’s new universal smart home standard Matter and other features aimed at home automation enthusiasts.

So which system is the better of the two? Sure enough, we’ve just finished testing them out side-by-side, and we’ve got plenty of data to share. Let’s take a closer look at how each system performed, and what separates them.
