Google Nest WiFi router support

Network Weather works with Google Nest WiFi and Google WiFi routers. Integration level: Basic.

What you'll see

Google's routers are surprisingly open with information — no login needed or available. Network Weather automatically shows you:

  • Router model (Nest WiFi Router, Google WiFi, Nest WiFi Pro, and others)
  • Firmware version
  • Internet connection status
  • How long your router has been running
  • Whether a node is the main router or a mesh point
  • Your external IP address and basic traffic data

That's a lot of useful info with zero setup.

What problems can be detected

  • Whether your internet connection has dropped
  • How long it's been since your router was restarted (a restart can fix some issues)
  • Basic traffic patterns on your network

Tested on

  • Nest WiFi Router (2019, H2D)

Good to know

  • No login option. Google doesn't provide a way for apps like Network Weather to access deeper data such as per-device WiFi signal strength or individual device details. What you see automatically is everything that's available.
  • Traffic totals show packet counts, not data amounts. Like Eero, Google's routers don't report reliable byte-level traffic data, so Network Weather uses packet counts instead.
