Some Google Home app users are starting to experiment with a new section of the Google Home app on Android called “Wi-Fi Labs,” which allows Nest WiFi router owners to try out experimental features.
It’s currently unclear whether this is an internal feature that was accidentally made available outside a closed test suite, or whether it’s the first step of a larger rollout, but on Reddit the first screens that certify his presence have begun to appear.
The Wi-Fi Labs page allows you to test features in development for the router produced by Google, such as updating the AP software channel, enabling secure filtering to block adult-only content, and uploading diagnostic reports from the Wi-Fi network, as evidenced by the presence of a VLAN field. Here are a couple of screens to confirm what is written.
In fact, these options seem more suited to internal testing by Google engineers than to end users, so the “error” assumption isn’t so ill-advised, and the company may decide to remove Wi-Fi Labs from the Google Home app in some cases. any time.
Nest WiFi Pro received the latest software update in November but only arrived on the markets a month earlier together with the wired version of the Doorbell. The new Nest WiFi Pro is a tri-band Wi-Fi 6E mesh router system with Google Assistant support, but unlike previous models, it doesn’t have built-in speakers. We find it available for purchase at 219.99 euros.
