Google Nest WiFi Pro Snow
Score: 83/100
Synology WRX560
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Google Nest Wifi Pro is a tri-band Wi-Fi 6E mesh system offering high speeds and extensive coverage. Its limited Ethernet ports and 1 Gbps wired ceiling are notable trade-offs. Ideal for households that prioritize wireless performance and smart-home integration.
The Synology WRX560 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router providing up to 3 Gbps combined throughput, a 2.5 GbE port and extensive VLAN and security features. It does not offer tri-band or Wi-Fi 6E, limiting peak performance for multi-gigabit links. Perfect for households or small businesses that require robust security and fast wired backhaul.

Professional reviewers praise the Nest Wifi Pro for its Wi-Fi 6E capability, strong top-end speeds that suit up to ~900 Mbps internet plans, and smooth 4K streaming across the mesh. However, they criticize the limited Ethernet ports-just one WAN and one LAN per unit-and the 1 Gbps wired ceiling, which can be a bottleneck for users with multi-gigabit connections.
StorageReview and other editors describe the WRX560 as delivering faster Wi-Fi 6 performance, buffer-free streaming and rapid downloads, while emphasizing the value of its 2.5 GbE port, 5.9 GHz band and feature-rich SRM OS. The router is positioned as an excellent mid-tier dual-band option that balances throughput, advanced security and ease of management for home and small-business users.
