Conflicts: Tom's Guide says only a single 5 GHz 160 MHz channel is usable, and the UK, Australia and Canada store pages say AXE4200, which would fit one 160 MHz band and one 80 MHz band.

Wi-Fi featuresiFeatures the maker names for the product. Band steering puts all bands under one network name and moves devices between them, e.g. Smart Connect. Band steering over only some of the bands, such as 2.4 and 5 GHz on a tri-band router, counts. AFC is Automated Frequency Coordination, which allows standard power on 6 GHz. Support that needs a later firmware counts, and the firmware goes in the source note.

Band steering, AFC (6 GHz standard power)2Maker product pagestore.google.com/us/product/nest_wifi_pro_specsRead 15 October 2026Proactive band steering is listed.

Band steering encourages 2.4 GHz clients to move to 5 GHz with BSS transition frames, and default SSIDs enable it on all bands the access point supports.

The device can be set up without a UI account and even without an internet connection, with a local administrator account.

Operating modesiModes the maker lists. Media bridge connects wired devices to another router over Wi-Fi. Extender, range extender and WDS modes count as repeater.

Google's bridge mode help page covers Nest Wifi and Google Wifi without naming Nest Wifi Pro and says bridge mode works only with a single Wifi device. Router and mesh_node come from Tom's Guide.

Router, Access point, Mesh node, Repeater4Reviewdongknows.com/ubiquiti-ux7-unifi-express-7-reviewRead 15 October 2026Operating Roles: Wi-Fi Router, UniFi Access Point, UniFi Mesh Point, Extender. The text says it can also function as an access point or mesh extender, and the role cannot be changed once it is set up as a router.

Network featuresiFeatures the maker lists that work without a paid subscription. An IoT network is a separate network for smart home devices. Dual WAN uses a second internet connection as a backup or to share the load. Only features the maker clearly says are free. Parental controls counts when a free feature pauses or schedules internet access per person or device, such as eero Profiles, even when content filters need a subscription. When the maker's pages contradict each other, leave the feature out.

Guest network, QoS, Parental controls2Maker product pagestore.google.com/us/product/nest_wifi_pro_specsRead 15 October 2026Auto-QoS for video calls and device prioritization, parental controls, and a separate guest network are listed.
