Google releases OnHub, the $200 router for better Wi-Fi connections

Google has developed a solution to “slow-as-snails” and unstable Wi-Fi connections — OnHub .

Google was very concerned about society’s ability to keep advancing with Internet connection that isn’t up to speed with today’s downloads and streaming capabilities.

According to Google’s Blog:

“Instead of relaxing in front of the screen or sharing those photos with friends, you spend it unplugging and re-plugging cords, trying to decipher blinking lights, or contemplating a call to customer support. While we count on Wi-Fi more than ever to be entertained, productive, and stay connected, we’re streaming and sharing in new ways our old routers were never built to handle.”

In response to today’s connection issues, the company teamed up with TP-LINK to create a router that’s more capable of handling our daily needs.

For starters, they did away with all of the wires that are coming out of your router right now, and presented the new kind of router in a sleek, round design.

OnHub will also let you choose what is most important to you. First it searches the airwaves to find the best channel for the fastest connection. Then it lets you prioritize so that your most important activities take precedence over others. For example, streaming a television show may be more important than cellphone activity, so it would get the fastest speeds.

Some other facts about OnHub: It comes with 4GB of storage, a Wi-Fi speed of up to 1900 Mbps, and 13 antennae (six congestion-sensing versions). It also works with an app for easy set-up and constant monitoring of your Internet connection.

The device will make any updates or take security precautions without interrupting your connection and also connects to any smart devices that are brought into your home.

OnHub is available for pre-order for $199.99 at popular retailers like Amazon and Walmart. For more information visit OnHub’s website.
