What actually differs
This is the cleanest possible comparison in ssid's dataset: both systems are 100% app-only. Nest Wifi Pro has no loginHost and no gateway IP to type into a browser — it's set up and managed entirely in the Google Home app, per Google's own support documentation. eero Pro 6 is the same: no admin web page exists, everything runs through the eero app tied to an Amazon/eero account.
The practical consequence is identical for both: if you're locked out, there's no "forgot password" web form to use. You factory-reset the hardware (hold the reset button until the LED changes on either model) and re-pair it from the app, choosing a new Wi-Fi name and password at that point — not recovering an old one.
Nest Wifi Pro has no web admin — it is set up and managed in the Google Home app. To factory reset the router: press and hold the factory reset button on the bottom for about 10 seconds; the light flashes yellow, then turns solid yellow — release the button. The reset can take up to 10 minutes; do not unplug during it. Then open the Google Home app and set the device up again (you pick a new network name and password).
eero has no web admin page — everything is managed in the eero mobile app. To factory (hard) reset: with the eero powered on, press and hold the reset button on the back until the LED flashes red (about 15 seconds), then release. When the light blinks blue the unit is ready. Reopen the eero app (signed into your Amazon/eero account) and add the eero back to your network; you set the Wi-Fi name and password there.
