Google Wifi works differently than a traditional router. You set up multiple points throughout your home, creating a mesh network that delivers a consistently strong, secure signal. Wifi points work together to create a connected system that gives you a strong signal throughout your home. A consistently fast signal. Because each Wifi point is a router with a high-fidelity signal, all of your devices get a fast connection.

Other mesh routers are Netgear Orbi, Eero, Plume and Asus Lyra.
