Google OnHub: Google with the #router advanced wireless router for idiots

Smart wireless router aka Google OnHub router

The technological giant Google is penetrating every pore of computing and their latest "victim" is wireless routers. Recently, Google (or is it now Alphabet?) introduced an advanced wireless router for idiots, OnHub, equipped with 13 antennas of 2.4 GHz frequency (12 of which transmit the signal and one receives) and a data transfer speed of up to 1900 MB per second. Aesthetically perfect, it is intended for more demanding environments.

Truth be told wireless routers they are not exactly an aesthetic contribution to the room, so they are often placed in obscure places. But with this we also cut down theirs Wi-Fi signal performance. Google therefore butted heads with the company TP-Link and built a fancy advanced router OnHub in the form of a cylinder (similar to the Amazon Echo speaker), which will be in the provision of the network more reliable like other devices of its forge (it allows for updates without breaking the wireless connection), it will also be alien to congestion. To ensure that classic problems do not arise, there will be people in charge 13 antennas (OnHub he himself overestimates which frequency to broadcast on for the best possible use), 2-core processor with a frequency of 1.4 GHz and 4 GB of memory.

No more hiding routers behind screens and under the table.

The appearance of the product also plays its part in ensuring greater efficiency, as Google wants it to black or blue router (diodes are no longer a disturbing element, flashing lights she replaced it softer multicolored light) placed in a visible place, like a vase or statuette, where he will be able to perform his work more successfully.

OnHub Wireless Router supports Wi-Fi wireless technologies (at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies), Bluetooth 4.0, Zigbee and transfer speed up to 1 GB/s via Ethernet and somehow we can manage it via an Android or iOS device. Across the puddle is a router that is ideal for small businesses as well as homes (although it is built for demanding environments, which our apartments usually are not), available for (calculated) 175 euros, how much it will hit us in the pocket on the European market (if at all), is not yet known.
