In addition to a new Nest/Google Wifi update, the Google Home app is getting the last few remaining Wifi-related features from the old client that’s set to be deprecated.
Google Home 2.39 is widely rolling out today on Android and iOS with a trio of features from the legacy Wifi app that should stop working any day now:
- Easily troubleshoot your Google Wifi or Nest Wifi network. See devices with a poor connection from the updated Wi-Fi device view.
- See real-time and historical bandwidth usage for your devices.
- See a list of offline devices that have been online in the last 30 days to help understand any connection issues.
The “updated Wi-Fi device view” does not appear to be live yet, but is presumably the list that shows you what’s currently connected to your network. This redesign will let you “see devices with a poor connection.”
It’s not clear what the second bullet point is referring to as that’s already available by selecting a device from the above list. The “Speed” tab shows “Real time usage” and historical “Usage” graphs. The latter is available in 1-, 7-, and 30-day increments. This was added in version 2.34 from March and an aspect of the old Wifi client.
The last entry in the release notes was also part of the old Wifi app in that the main device list remembered every single connected item over a certain time increment.
Meanwhile, an APK Insight reveals that the Google Home app also plans to let you “Check device speed” to your Wifi router/point. This and the three aforementioned features are not yet live and likely a server-side update.
