In a surprising turn of events, Amazon has initiated a clearance sale on the discontinued Google Nest Wifi router and offers it at an astonishing 77% discount. This mesh Wi-Fi system, originally priced at $169 is now available for just $38 during Prime Day which makes it an incredibly attractive option for budget-conscious consumers. In terms of value for money, you can’t get any better.

Despite being superseded by newer models (hello Nest Wifi Pro at $199!), the Nest Wifi remains a top performer in the realm of home networking. It offers coverage of up to 2,200 square feet per router and can support connections for up to 200 devices simultaneously. While it doesn’t boast the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology, its Wi-Fi 5 capabilities are more than sufficient for most household needs, including 4K video streaming and online gaming.
What’s great is that the system can be easily set up and managed through the Google Home app and allows users to monitor their network, create guest networks and implement parental controls with minimal effort. This simplicity combined with its integration into the broader Google ecosystem makes it an appealing choice for those already invested in Google’s smart home products.
The timing of this sale is particularly noteworthy, as it coincides with Amazon’s Prime Day event. However, this discount is not exclusive to Prime members, opening up the opportunity to all shoppers. This strategy has catapulted the Nest Wifi into Amazon’s best-selling items list over the past week, with many customers seizing the chance to acquire a premium networking device at a fraction of its original cost.
Industry analysts suggest that this clearance sale may be one of the last opportunities to purchase the Nest Wifi as Google has officially discontinued the product line in favor of its newer Nest Wifi Pro.
For homeowners grappling with Wi-Fi dead zones or looking to support an increasing number of smart home devices, this discounted Nest Wifi presents an cost-effective solution. Grab yours quickly, it might sell out quickly.
