Google—aside from being a portal to the entire internet—is also becoming an internet provider from land and air.

Now the company is extending that strategy to hardware. With OnHub, a Wi-Fi router designed to be placed on a table or countertop in the center of your home, Google promises to speed up everyone's internet connection—and make setup easier. This router packs impressive specs, 1900 Mbps speeds over 13 antennae (six 2.4 GHz, six 5.0 GHz, and one "congestion-sensing" antenna). Most consumer routers top off at 300 Mbps, so OnHub would be a leap for the average consumer. It also has 4GB of on-router storage for updates and software, which is the most interesting part of Google's newest hardware.

At Google I/O this year, the company announced Brillo, their operating system for internet-connected devices. OnHub promises to be compatible with Google's connected future, packing out-of-the-box compatibility with popular Internet of Things protocols like Bluetooth Smart Ready, 802.15.4 and Weave. (Weave is the language that Brillo devices communicate with.)
