Google launched a Wi-Fi router on Tuesday, the latest move in the company's efforts to get ready for the connected home and draw more users to its services.
The cylinder-shaped router, named OnHub, can be pre-ordered for $199.99 at online retailers including the Google Store, Amazon.com and Walmart.com.
"The router comes with in-built antennas that will scan the airwaves to spot the fastest connection", Google said in a blog post.
With the router, users will be able to prioritise a device so that they can get the fastest Internet speeds for data-heavy activities such as downloading content or streaming a movie.
The router can be hooked up with Google's On app, available on Android and iOS, to run network checks and keep track of bandwidth use among other things.
