He transitioned to a news and feature writer role at XDA Developers that same year, where he worked until 2021 before making the jump to AP. Years later, in 2017, he got his true start in tech journalism working for a small Google-focused site called Pixel Spot.

He first began writing online for the short-lived portal of Spanish-language gaming forum Emudesc in 2013. In the meantime, you may need to switch back to your previous router system for better throughput until Google rolls out this fix.Īrol is a tech journalist and contributor at Android Police. If you've been stuck in the slow lane, here's hoping your internet speeds will kick back to normal sooner than later. In a statement to The Verge, Google confirmed as much, saying that "a small number of users" are seeing slow download speeds and that its teams are "working to roll out a fix" that could land as early next week. It's not certain that the new router is encountering faults dealing with PPPoE, but a good number of complaints seem to be clinging to this fact. Most reports are coming from users hailing from the UK and many of them are using the PPPoE network protocol that authenticates their connections with their internet provider. Pretty much any old router from the past decade can bring you those speeds, but if you're paying good money for an internet service plan, you can easily figure out that there's something wrong in the equation. However, users are reporting that their download speeds seem to be capped at a piddly 50Mbps (via 9to5Google). Nest Wifi also supports the newest WPA3 encryption standards - Google Wifi doesn't.The big promise of the Nest Wifi Pro is support for Wi-Fi 6E which allows for, among many other things, lightning-fast speeds - as fast as 5.4Gbps, to be precise. However, Google did upgrade the antennas with Nest Wifi, boosting it up to a 4X4 configuration that's capable of simultaneous MU-MIMO transmissions that are more robust than the 2X2 Google Wifi. A new, faster, AX version of Wi-Fi called Wi-Fi 6 just started rolling out last year (802.11ax), but Google opted not to include support for it with Nest Wifi. That AC bit tells you that both Google Wifi and Nest Wifi support Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), which has been the go-to version of Wi-Fi for the past several years. With the more capable Nest Wifi, those numbers jump to 612 and 431Mbps, which is impressive for an AC mesh router. In our own lab, we clocked Google Wifi with top wireless transfer rates of 451Mbps at close range and 201Mbps at a distance of 75 feet. Like with all routers, those AC1200 and AC2200 speed ratings are derived from optimized, lab-based speed tests that don't take factors like distance, obstructions and interference into account, so your actual top speeds will likely be a lot lower.
