If you ’ve been dealing with spotty Wi - Fi in certain part of your house , you may rejoice .
Google just pulled back the mantle on a full lineup of new product on Tuesday , from aVR headset - readysmartphone poised to unseatthe iPhone and Galaxy ’s camera supremacy , to an update Chromecast that ’ll let you gormandize thebest showsin nous - splittingly sharp 4K. However , it ’s the least - flashy unexampled machine of the crowd that really got us pumped . It ’s called Google Wifi , and it ’s a scheme of tiny tethered routers that will reject your abode ’s dastardly dead zones forever . Hallelujah !
Although Google Wifi is n’t the first multi - point router organisation out there , it is significantly less expensive than exchangeable offerings like eero andNETGEAR ’s Orbi , set you back just $ 129 for a individual router , and $ 299 for a three - pack . How many you ’ll involve depend on how bountiful your place is : a undivided unit of measurement connected to your modem should be fine for apartments up to 1,500sqft , while a compounding of three can provide lightning - dissipated coverage in every nook , cranny , crawl infinite , and attic in a 4,500sqft nursing home .

In addition to being low - profile and less incursive than anterior offerings from the contest ( each twist is roughly the shape of a hockey Robin Goodfellow ) , they ’re easy managed via a companion smartphone app , which’ll also help you find where just to place them within your space to assure you ’re getting the best overall signal .
regrettably , you ’ll have to slog through your subpar Wi - Fi for a fiddling minute longer since it is n’t ship until December , but you may jointhe waitlistnow so you do n’t overleap out .
