All the Google forays into certain distinct areas What could be mobile devices have gone through Nest and Dropcam, one for thermostats and another for security cameras that we can install in our home. Now it has teamed up with TP-Link to make something new for Google and it is a WiFi router called OnHub.
Now we wonder in that you can differentiate a Google WiFi router like OnHub if we put it next to ours that we have in our house, and that has normally been installed by the operator with which we have Internet services. OnHub will automatically adjust the channels and bandwidth to fit our use, it remembers your devices, it has a speaker/Bluetooth and it has an app to manage everything about it. An interesting initiative by Google that is among other initiatives such as Chromecast and that was ultimately a success.
A whole WiFi router
If you have already probably been encouraged to learn more about this router called OnHub, it has the capacity for 802.11 b / g / n / ac at 2.4 and 5 GHz. It has a circular range of 13 antennas that ensures a good signal and router software scans every five minutes to find the least congested wireless channels. Remember your favorite devices and how much data they tend to use, so more bandwidth can be relocated to them.
The app to control everything on this Wifi router from your smartphone or tablet is «Google One». Another of its curious data is that it has a single ethernet port on the back, so you will have to use an alternative switch to connect more cable connections. This also leads us to be before a router that advocates wireless connections more than cable.
OnHub at an excessive price
OnHub apart from serving as a router that arrives for wireless connections, it also offers some interesting features that separate it from this. It has support for Bluetooth Smart, Zigbee and Google Weave, and contains a speaker that is supposed to be able to play music from it. It also has a USB 3.0 port to manage storage to a fast network connection.

And for what seems to be the thing is not only here, since with future updates new features will be offered on OnHub. The router is available in the black or blue color for a price of 199 dollars so I'm sure he will have already thrown you back. The funny thing is that the black version has already run out of stock, so for a router that focuses on wireless connections it may interest certain users.
