While #Apple is getting out of the router business, #Google is doubling down. Or maybe tripling down, if you really buy into mesh networking. #GoogleWiFi is set to ship in the next few weeks, and a third-party test of Google’s new wireless solution shows it clobbering other mesh networking systems. Google WiFi is not Mountain View’s first attempt at selling a consumer router. In fact, the last one wasn’t even very long ago. Just over a year ago Google released the OnHub router. This device was billed as a hub for smart home devices with easier setup and slick management via a mobile app. Although, after numerous updates the #OnHub has virtually no smart home features and even basic things like network attached storage don’t work.
