As of this writing, Google’s OnHub router appears to be out of stock at retailers like Amazon and Walmart as well as Google’s own online store.



If you’ve ordered the OnHub and are waiting for it to arrive, be sure to download the app on to your Android device. Featuring a design that utilizes the same blue and teal colours that characterize the router, the app is there to guide new OnHub owners through the initial setup of their shiny new networking tool, and simple troubleshooting should the need arise.

Basically, the app addresses essentially every aspect of your OnHub router – all packed in an intuitive interface that anyone can use it. The OnHub is still available for ordering, and if you have 9 lying around and a desire to put behind the days of struggling with bad Internet connection, now is your time.

Today, the Google OnHub goes on sale to the general public. It can also show all of the devices that are now connected to your OnHub and let you prioritize bandwidth to a particular device if you’re doing something that needs a speedy connection, like online gaming. If you’re not at home, Google On allows you to remotely provide assistance.

Reviewers generally agree the OnHub is easy for users to set up, but doesn’t come with numerous features more technical users might expect for the price. With 13 antennas that work on two frequencies – the 2.4 and 5GHz bands – the router can switch from one frequency to the other as needed to avoid network congestion and buffering, Google says.

With the announcement of the OnHub router earlier this month also came the announcement of something a little different, a companion app built just for the OnHub.
