Google Launches $ 200 OnHub Smart Router With Dedicated App
Google today announced a new Wi-Fi router in partnership with TP-Link. A router called OnHub aims to be a smarter way to manage your home network.
The router has several handy features, including automatically optimizing which channel you are using based on your needs. You can also set specific devices to receive priority speeds, so if you want to make sure your Chromecast isn’t slowing down just because someone else is watching YouTube in a different room, you can prioritize your TV.
All router functions are handled by the Google On companion app. Instead of logging into a hidden admin panel, the mobile app lets you manage your router right from your phone. You can set up your router, view connected devices, and select and share passwords right from your phone.
The OnHub router is already on sale in the Google Store. At $ 200, it’s more expensive than your typical home router, but due to the convenience and features it offers, it can be worth the price. Particularly if it saves you calls from confused family members who don’t speak the language of the router’s flashing lights.
