Avoid Google wireless router in general.

Main problem with existing Google Nest Wifi and Google Wifi, especially for Singtel users. I tend to belive the issue will still be there for Google Wifi Pro.
1) No mesh in AP mode (problematic for Singtel ONR user)
2) No support of Singtel VLAN (not working for Singtel ONT user)

Ref: Google Wifi does not support mesh in AP mode.
https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/6240987Do Google Nest Wifi and Google Wifi support bridge mode?
Yes, but bridge mode will only work if you’re using a single Wifi device. If you want to create a mesh network with multiple devices, your router or primary Wifi point cannot be in bridge mode.

Ref: VLAN support (Singtel requires VLAN tag of 10 and 20).
https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9798157?hl=enGoogle supports VLAN tag values of 2, 7, and 10 (from a possible range of 0 to 4095). If your ISP requires a different tag, your setup will require an additional device for it to work.

Another thing, 6GHz band has not been approved in Singapore, so Wifi 6E routers like Google Nest Wifi Pro is kind of useless in Singapore.

In any case, IMHO, Google Nest router product line is not very good and there is no point buying it anyway.

Please refer to Post #2.

Guys, try not to buy any Google nest ****. I used to have a google nest hub and totally cannot get any service support. Pui! As a Google shareholder, I am not going to touch this ****. If any is buying their product, I will thank you on their behalf for believing in this ****.

After the last firmware release in August, Google is rolling out a new software update to the Nest Wifi Pro with Mesh improvements. The router is over two years old at this point.

Software version 3.74.442328 (from 3.73.x) is rolling out as of December 18 with the following changelog:

• Improved Wi-Fi Mesh connection stability and roaming experience
• Improved the switching speed when roaming between Mesh AP and points
• Other stability and security vulnerability fixes

Like with the last one, this is a more substantial upgrade that looks to improve the Nest Wifi Pro experience across multiple points by increasing stability and switching speeds.

We’re already seeing it installed on our devices. Nest Wifi Pro updates occur overnight in the background.

To check, open the Google Home app and find your Nest Wifi Pro in the Favorites or Devices tab. Tap the settings gear icon in the top-right corner for Devices settings. The Software version is listed under Device settings.

This follows an update to the Nest Wifi router and point in October, while the Google Wifi’s last changelog entry is September 2022.
