The likes of Eero, TP-Link and more are now offering mesh-networking kits, so you’ve got more choice than ever when it comes to picking a system to cover your home in fast, reliable Wi-Fi – and now Google has released the second generation of its own kit.

If you’re new to the idea of mesh networking, the idea is that rather than having just one router stuck in a corner of your property, you have a router and several nodes or satellites spread around your living spaces – with the Wi-Fi signal spread evenly between them, eliminating dead zones. Google says a two-pack Nest Wifi system is good for 210m 2 of coverage.
