Google Nest Wi-Fi, a mesh Wi-Fi system, provides Wi-Fi to your whole house. In terms of functionality, once the Google Nest Wi-Fi system is set up it will result in a stronger and more stable Wi-Fi connection throughout your home.

Please note that Google Nest Wi-Fi is not compatible with FTTN/B connections. If you are on an FTTN/B connection, the Google Nest will need to be plugged into your existing modem - or a modem you purchase from Tangerine - in order to work.

A normal nbn® modem is a single device. For medium to larger homes, a normal modem can restrict Wi-Fi access and the number of devices that need to connect to the modem can impede its functionality. A Mesh system, like Google Nest Wi-Fi, with one Wi-Fi router and one Wi-Fi point, will be strong enough to handle up to 200 connected devices and stream multiple 4k videos simultaneously. Mesh systems are beneficial with new household devices requiring internet connection including security cameras, speakers, TVs, fridges, phones (both landline and mobile) and alarms.
