* The Router does not have Google assistant built in, only the Points do
* Each Router only has two ethernet plugs, one of which has to be used for connection to your modem
If you ask Google about it they say it's on your phone manufacturer to force 2.4 during setup. Well Google made my phone too and it doesn't have that functionality. The solution? Stand across the street from your house when you set up smart home devices.

(1) The first is the router, which is included in every kit on the shelf *. Whether you buy a one-pack, or a three-node setup, one of these will be included. This is the device that would connect to your modem and has two built-in ethernet ports. It will act as the "center" of your network. Of note (and I haven't verified this), but of the two devices available, word is it also has the more powerful antenna. This device does not have the built-in assistant (no speaker or mic).
(2) The second device is strictly an access point. It has no ethernet ports and can only connect to the other nodes (or clients) wirelessly. You cannot use this device if you want wired backhaul, but I believe I'm safe in saying that *most* users won't do this any way. It is a shame though, as sometimes you want to put a device like this near a group of devices that could either benefit (A) from a wired connection due to less cross-talk/interference of wireless or (B) due to the fact they don't have wireless capabilities (see my old laser printer). This device DOES have a built-in speaker and mic, and supports the Google assistant.
With that... the Amazon listing (this post) has two Routers. The best buy option you posted is the standard "2-pack" with (1) Router and (1) Access Point.
* I'm sure you could find a multi-pack of access points out there if you tried hard enough. It's not something that I know Google sells as a kit though... So, you'll generally be safe with at least one router in the bunch, allowing you to connect these to the internet.

Emphasis mine. "Google Nest Wifi" is a separate product from "Google Wifi". Somehow the genius marketing minds at Google thought simply adding the word "Nest" would make that clear, but it usually just leads to confusion.
