Google's New Router Is Stupid Genius

Thanks to Google, your WiFi woes might soon disappear. The company just announced its OnHub Internet router, an impressive device that's 100 percent wireless and controlled via smartphone app (!). Thanks to groundbreaking software that performs regular scans for the best connectivity, you can say buh-bye to the days of dropped Skype calls, eternally buffering YouTube videos, and unplugging and resetting your router in hopes of the Internet fixing itself.

"It guides you through simple setup, makes it easy to see which devices are connected to your network, and offers help if there's ever an issue," describes Google of the router, which promises to provide faster, better WiFi service and lets you prioritize connections.

It works by checking local airwaves and seamlessly switching between channels to ensure optimum Internet speed. "A unique antenna design and smart software keep working in the background, automatically adjusting OnHub to avoid interference and keep your network at peak performance," explains Google of its impressive feature.

Bonus: OnHub automatically updates itself, allowing you to use the latest software improvements without needing to reset or press "I Accept These Terms and Agreements" every few weeks. It even has a function for quickly sharing the WiFi password with friends.

Not only is OnHub's software groundbreaking, but the device itself is also aesthetically pleasing. It's available in either blue or black, so you'll want to store the sleek router somewhere visible — and since you can control the entire thing from your phone without ever touching it, you might forget that it's actually an electronic device. You can preorder an OnHub router ($200) from a variety of retailers today, with shipment beginning in mere weeks.
