Our Verdict
Google Wifi
eero 6
The eero 6 is a much better router than the Google Wifi. They're both routers that you can buy in multi-packs and are intended for use in a mesh network. The Google is only Wi-Fi 5, and its performance is disappointing at longer distances. On the other hand, the eero is Wi-Fi 6, performs much better at range, and has faster top speeds.
