Google Wi-Fi is said to have the same goal, to allow people the ability to strengthen their Wi-Fi signal.

Google’s OnHub router was met with decent reception (heh), but a new report by Android Police indicates the company is looking to announce a new router alongside its upcoming probably-called-Pixel phones on October 4.
Although it’s possible that Google could end up creating a brand new application to manage Google Wi-Fi, it’s thought that the existing OnHub app will simply be updated to include Google W-Fi features and management options and serve this objective, however there is still no confirmation on this and Google could decide to have a separate app.
Google plans to release its own, self-branded wireless router dubbed “Google Wifi” that will retail for $129, according to Android Police. But the one thing that will make it an insta-buy for many over OnHub?
Last year Google introduced OnHub routers made by third parties – the first one from TP-LINK and the second from Asus.
The most interesting detail on this router isn’t its price point.
Size wise, Google WiFi is supposed to be pretty small in size, coincidentally possibly as small as an Echo Dot. Let us know in the comments!
Other specs of Google WiFi like bandwidth and upload/download speeds are now unknown, however we should learn soon if AP’s confidence rating is of any indication…
