Google and TP-LINK introduces new Wi-Fi router OnHub

Google, in partnership with TP-LINK, has introduced a new Wi-Fi router called OnHub. Say goodbye to the tiresome days of slow and insecure routers, as this is a “new way to Wi-Fi,” Google says.

Normally routers are hidden in a corner, usually due to the unpleasant design. Unfortunately, they function best when they’re out in the open, free of obstructions.

OnHub was designed to be an elegant looking router so that it blends in with your home. The search giant got rid of unruly cables, instead favoring subtle and useful lighting and control through an Android and iOS app called Google On.

OnHub aims to search airwaves for the best possible connection to eliminate frequent disconnects and interruptions. You want your home network running at top notch quality, and OnHub aims to accomplish just that.

There’re also options to prioritize a device on your network with OnHub, allowing you to get the fastest speeds for the most important tasks in your home, whether that be work related or streaming movies in the evening.

OnHub is currently available on a variety of online retailers for $199.99. However, many of these retailers list the router as out of stock. It should come to brick-and-mortar retailers in the coming weeks.

OnHub is certainly an interesting device from Google, and certainly not expected. It’ll no doubt function best on Google’s Fiber networks, too.

Anyone plan on picking up OnHub?
