Google Wi-Fi creates a ‘Mesh’ network that covers multiple devices spread throughout the home, with high-speed wireless internet. The devices are able to seamlessly roam between mesh network points, ensuring the best possible connection strength.

Google Wi-Fi comes with an Ethernet port that can be used to hardware devices into the network.
