Google Wifi is a new type of connected system that replaces your router for seamless mesh wireless coverage throughout your home.

Network Assist is intelligent software built into Google Wifi to provide you with the fastest possible speed. Behind the scenes, Network Assist automatically helps you avoid Wi-Fi congestion, and transitions you to the closest Wifi point for the best signal.

Network Assist takes care of complex settings behind the scenes, so you can sit back and enjoy the Wi-Fi without having to fiddle with your router.

The Google Wifi app gives you total control over your network. Easily share your Wi-Fi password, see what devices are online, and prioritize them for better performance.

Google Wifi's family controls allow you to pause the signal to your children's devices, like at bedtime or dinnertime.
