The new Google Nest Wifi router could end up taking over more and more homes over the next few months and beyond. With an improved design, and the fact that each of these “hubs” is also a Google Assistant-enabled smart speaker, it’ll liekly be a home run. If you don’t want to just sit these on a desk or table, however, and want to mount them on the wall, these are the best mounts you can get.
Save some space
Wasserstein AC Outlet Mount
Staff pick
Wasserstein’s AC Outlet Mount requires a bit more assembly than others since you’ll need to remove the existing outlet cover plate. Once installed, however, this mount is capable of holding your Nest WiFi or anything weighting seven pounds. Best of all, you’ll still have easy access to the other AC outlet after the cable has been tucked away.

How should you mount your Nest Wifi?
There really is no “right” answer to the question posed above. The situations will vary for everyone since you might be comfortable just having the Nest WIfi sitting on your desk.

If you don’t mind taking your outlet cover off the wall to install the Wasserstein Mount, it’s an elegant solution for more organization.
For those who would rather not mess with the outlet covers and just want a standard mounting system won’t want to look any further than the Delidigi Wall Mount Bracket. You will need to drill some holes into the wall, but then you will be provided with a nice and clean way to store your Nest Wifi or the points. Plus, Delidigi offers a 30-day money-back guarantee and a one-year replacement warranty for added peace of mind.
