Google is yet to launch the Pixel 7 (Pro) series and the upcoming Nest Wifi Pro 6E mesh router. However, the latter has already been listed on an online store detailing its price and color options. For now, you don’t have to wait for Google’s October event to find out how much it will cost.
TL; DR
- The Google Nest Wifi Pro with 6E rating has been released online.
- Nest Wifi Pro is available in several color ways.
- The price of the mesh router is listed at $200.
Based on B&H’s online listing, the Google Nest Wifi Pro features the new Wi-Fi 6E standard. To refresh, the 6E offers use of the 6GHz frequency as opposed to Wi-Fi 6’s 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. This high band is less likely to interfere with other devices as mentioned on the website. But most importantly, the repeater gets better quality and stable internet speed than the previous generations.

Along with the $200 price tag of the Google Pro router, color options have also been revealed: white, linen brown, fog blue and lemon grass green. The last two are identical to the Pixel Buds Pro colorways. If you are interested in Google Pro Boots.
In addition to the single pack, both 2-pack and 3-pack specifications are offered for $300 and $400 respectively. The bundle with the access point (smart speaker/extender) is clearly missing. Presumably, the point is still supported by the new router, which can be purchased separately from the Nest Wifi Pro.
Google plans to hold an event on October 6 to showcase the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, as well as the first Pixel Watch. Google’s wired Nest Doorbell 2 is expected to launch on top of the Nest Wifi Pro.
