Google announced on Tuesday that the home mesh network it debuted back in October, Google WiFi, is now available for pre-order. This system replaces your single router with Eero-style access points. Each of these individual nodes acts as a signal relay which reduces WiFi dead zones throughout your house.
Google WiFi is available as a single, $129 unit for apartments and small homes (500-1,500 square feet) or as a $300 3-pack that covers up to 3,000 – 4,500 square feet. The system employs Google’s Network Assist software to ensure you’re always running on the fastest connection. It also offers vocal cues and advice for optimizing the individual nodes’ positions.
The WiFi bundles are available through Google Store, Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart. According to a Droid Life report, they should begin shipping on December 6th.
