Google luncurkan pembaruan Nest Wifi di tengah ancaman pelarangan router di AS

Google telah merilis pembaruan untuk router Nest Wifi miliknya, yang pertama dalam 18 bulan terakhir. Langkah ini diambil menjelang rencana pelarangan router di Amerika Serikat. Namun, pembaruan ini dinilai masih belum mampu bersaing dengan router dari Asus maupun Netgear.

Google meluncurkan pembaruan untuk router Nest Wifi miliknya pada hari Rabu, yang menjadi penyegaran perangkat lunak pertama dalam 18 bulan. Perusahaan tersebut merilis pembaruan ini tepat sebelum rencana pelarangan terhadap router tertentu di Amerika Serikat, meskipun detail mengenai larangan tersebut masih belum jelas dari pernyataan resmi. TechRadar pertama kali melaporkan perkembangan ini, dengan mencatat bahwa pembaruan tersebut hadir setelah jeda panjang dalam dukungan firmware untuk perangkat itu. Google belum merinci perubahan dalam pembaruan tersebut, tetapi para pengamat menyebutnya tidak cukup memadai untuk menyaingi alternatif terkemuka. Menurut laporan tersebut, router Asus dan Netgear terus mengungguli Nest Wifi dalam hal fitur dan performa. Larangan router di Amerika Serikat menambah tekanan bagi Google untuk memperkuat lini Nest Wifi yang sudah berumur, yang selama ini tertinggal dalam hal pembaruan sejak penyegaran besar terakhirnya. Belum ada jadwal pasti mengenai penerapan larangan tersebut yang dikonfirmasi oleh otoritas Amerika Serikat maupun Google.
