At its big hardware event Tuesday, Google launched Google Wifi, a home router which connects to other Google Wifi routers to create a mesh network.*
The system is expandable and modular; you can simply add more devices to expand Wi-Fi coverage in your home.*
SEE ALSO: Google’s big hardware moment is also its biggest test (http://mashable.com/2016/10/03/google-2016-hardware-event-pregame/)
Google calls the device "visually subtle," and that it is: it's a white, circular gadget with a Google logo on top, a silver stripe around it, and that's pretty much it.*
But doesn't Google already have a home router, the OnHub (http://mashable.com/2015/08/31/google-onhub-review/)? Yes, it does, but even though it's pretty smart, the new, Google Wifi router's mesh capabilities make it a better option for larger home networks, where spotty coverage is an issue (Google says three Google Wifi routers should be e**ugh for a home that's 3,000 - 4,500 square feet large).* Read more...
