Is Google Nest Wifi Still Supported? Updates by Model

Yes, Google Nest Wifi is still supported as of October 22, 2026. Google’s own security-update table lists all three of its mesh Wi-Fi products, Nest Wifi Pro, Nest Wifi and the original Google Wifi, as currently receiving critical security updates. The difference is what Google has promised. Nest Wifi Pro is guaranteed updates until at least October 27, 2027. Nest Wifi and Google Wifi are past their guarantee dates (October 28, 2024 and December 5, 2021), so they are getting updates Google is no longer committed to send, and those could stop without a fixed date.

Here is where each model stands, what the gap between “guaranteed” and “currently receiving” means for you, and what to plan for if you own one.

Support status by model

Google promises its connected home devices automatic security updates “for at least five years from the date that we start selling them on the US Google Store.” It publishes a table with each device’s release date, the five-year minimum date, and whether it is currently getting critical security updates. Its separate release-notes page lists the latest firmware for each Wi-Fi device.

Status checked on Google’s pages on October 22, 2026. Google’s table lists dates in day/month/year order; we’ve written them out.

Nest Wifi Pro: inside its guarantee, for about another year

Nest Wifi Pro is still sold on the US Google Store, where it was listed “from $199.99” when we checked on October 22, 2026. Its guarantee runs a little over a year from today. Its most recent release, 3.78.518349, lists “mesh network performance and robustness improvements” and “stability and security vulnerability fixes.”

If you own one, nothing needs to change today. The date to remember is October 27, 2027. After that, Google may keep sending updates, as it has for the older models, but it hasn’t promised to.

Nest Wifi: past its guarantee, still getting patches

The Wi-Fi 5 Nest Wifi router and point passed their five-year minimum on October 28, 2024. Google still marks them as receiving critical security updates, and its release notes back that up: both the router and the point got builds dated April 24, 2026, described as “stability and security vulnerability fixes.”

That’s a good sign, but it’s a goodwill window rather than a commitment. Plan your replacement now so you aren’t rushed if updates stop.

Google Wifi: the one to look at most closely

The original Google Wifi’s guarantee ended on December 5, 2021. Google’s security table still says it is currently receiving critical security updates. But the newest Google Wifi version on Google’s release-notes page is 14150.376.32, from September 2022, while the Nest Wifi router has moved on to newer 14150.883 builds.

We can’t reconcile those two Google pages from the outside. Google may ship fixes it doesn’t list as new versions, or the release-notes page may be out of date. Either way, Google Wifi is nearly ten years past its release and almost five years past its guarantee. If it’s still your main router, it’s the strongest case of the three for replacing it soon. Our guide on how to check whether your router still gets security updates covers what to look for.

What happens when updates stop

Google hasn’t published what happens to its Wi-Fi products when updates end. The closest example is Nest Secure, an older Nest security system. When its support ended, Google said it would “no longer receive software or security updates” and advised against continuing to use it.

In our view, a router is a riskier device to leave unpatched than most, because it sits between every device in your home and the internet. So treat the end of updates as the end of the router’s useful life, even if it still powers on and passes traffic.

What owners should do now

1. Check your firmware. Compare the version shown for each unit in the Google Home app with Google’s release-notes page. Google says updates install automatically and roll out “over a number of days or weeks,” so being one release behind for a short time is normal. Being years behind is not.
2. Keep the basics tight in the meantime. Use a strong Wi-Fi password, and WPA3 if your router and devices offer it. Our router hardening checklist covers the settings that matter; not all of them are available in the Google Home app.
3. Don’t buy an upgrade that only covers part of your home. Google says Nest Wifi Pro “can’t be combined with earlier versions of Nest Wifi or Google Wifi routers or points in a single mesh network.” Moving to Nest Wifi Pro means replacing every unit, not adding one.
4. Check your smart home before you swap. Google’s comparison page lists Nest Wifi Pro and the Nest Wifi router and point as Thread border routers; the Google Wifi point is not. If you use Thread-based Matter devices, make sure another border router is in the home, or that your replacement router has one, before you unplug the Nest units. Our Matter and Thread explainer explains why that matters.

Should you replace it with Nest Wifi Pro?

Only if you value staying in the Google Home app and get a good price. Buying a Nest Wifi Pro today gets you about a year of guaranteed updates; our durability comparison found longer written promises from some other brands. Our comparison of the most durable mesh Wi-Fi systems lines up the written update and warranty terms from Google, eero, ASUS, TP-Link and Netgear.

Two more things to know before you buy:

• Regional specs differ. Google’s US store lists Nest Wifi Pro as AXE5400, while its UK store lists AXE4200 for the same product. These are combined maximum link rates across bands, not speeds you’ll see on one device.
• Coverage claims are Google’s. The US store says “up to 2200 square feet per router.” Walls, floors and where you place each unit change real coverage.
