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. So today, with our partner TP-LINK, we're launching OnHub, a
different kind of router for a new way to Wi-Fi. Instead of headaches and
spotty connections, OnHub gives you Wi-Fi that's fast, secure, and easy to use.
Over the years, I've had a lot of routers, and all of them were bad products.
No ifs and buts. They had connection problems, terrible user interfaces, they
were ugly, and a pain to use. Once I finally had enough, I decided to splurge
and get an Apple AirPort Extreme. I can assure you - it's one of the best
purchases I've ever made. Great UI, zero problems, it looks nice, and it always
works. This new Google product is effectively Google's AirPort Extreme, and as
such, I'm pretty sure this will be a great product too. Sure, like the AirPort
Extreme, it's a lot more expensive than the crappy €35 routers you can buy,
but they're totally worth it. There's also quite a beefy computer in there, and
I wonder if you could get to it and do cool stuff with it.

 

Here's Google's URL: https://on.google.com/hub/

I'm sure its a nice router, but using a satellite ISP with limited
bandwidth (or pay lots more), its not really relevant to have this
router.

 

Looks like a nice device to me, as well. True, not so useful if you're
stuck on an ISP that uses funky hardware. Maybe you route all your
wireless devices through your ISP's device and call it a day.

 

HH5 is just as good.
