The technology giant continues to conquer the technology market, bringing forward another innovative device to make our lives easier - so much easier. Google announced today a unique new router with a sleek design promised to stream and share "in new ways our old routers were never built to handle." OnHub, Google's innovative router, is said to utilize a "smart software" that will automatically locate the best WiFi connection available in order to ensure a strong connection for rapid streaming at all times. |
Moreover, in a addition to the aesthetic aspect of the device's cylindrical design, the circular positioning of OnHub's 13 antennas allow for more WiFi coverage in more directions than older routers can offer. Like other routers, OnHub also offers an option for bandwidth prioritization in order to provide faster streaming in devices that require it most, such as that laptop you use to stream movies online, and it can all be done comfortably through the new Google On app. The Google On App Google's new app created for OnHub seems just as promising as the router itself. The new app provides an easy step-by-step setup of the device in order to get you up and streaming within just a few minutes and is built to offer automatic assistance in the case of network problems. The application's software indicates the issue, describes the problem and instructs the user on how to fix the problem. This is a great time-saving feature given the long waiting time you may face when calling your Internet service provider. |
Another great feature the Google On app has to offer is the password sharing option that let's you share your password directly with a guest who is asking to connect in the case of long and complicated passwords. No more "let me ask my dad" or "is that a nine or a four?" The app also offers speed performance tests, easy tracking to see which devices are connected to your WiFi and control from anywhere, inside the home or outside the country.
Updates and Security
OnHub promises to keep evolving and improving both its software and the security features to make sure your network is safe at all times. Yet the best part is that it will complete all updates automatically without interrupting your network connection as is typically done when updating a router.
User-Friendly
OnHub is designed to be device-friendly by carrying software that can support both existing and future devices. To make it even more user-friendly, the device offers no blinking lights, a dimming option for the ring of light at the top and four different colour indicators to provide feedback on the connection status and alert you of possible issues.

Final Thoughts The device sure seems promising, is very well designed and finally makes routers easy to work with for everyone. It is very innovative and designed to provide the best WiFi performance available. The unique circular arrangement of the antennas makes the device easy to setup anywhere in the house, although you older routers can provide more or less equal bandwidth distribution if placed at the right spot in the house - but Google just makes life so much easier! |
The OnHub comes in two colours, black and blue, and is currently available for pre-order online for $199.99 on various sites including Google Store, Amazon, Walmart, and TP-Link Store. For more information check out Google's official OnHub website.
