Google few days ago announced its new product, OnHub, a WiFi router that takes WiFi routing to the next level! OnHub is currently available in two models manufactured by Tp-Link($199.9) and Asus($219.9). OnHub uses AC1900 technology, which provides faster WiFi speeds. The best thing about the router is that it contains multiple antennas arranged in a unique circular pattern. OnHub uses it's own app for the feedback, setup instructions and other information. Google claims that these routers are extremely easy to set-up.
What's Interesting about OnHub.
Faster WiFi Technology and Design
OnHub uses AC1900 technology which gives you Wi-Fi at a speed of up to 1900 Mbps and the circularly placed antennas to provide wider WiFi range and in many directions. You can prioritize the devices in your network so that the device you are currently using gets more bandwidth. This router is designed in such a way that it doesn't look like a normal router. It doesn't have those constantly blinking lights but instead sports an ambient light, which is at the top in the Tp-Link Model and bottom in the Asus model.

What is the difference between the two models
The two models from Asus and TP-Link are almost the same. But each has a different elegant exterior design, along with two key differences. OnHub from TP-Link features a front-facing antenna reflector that acts like a satellite dish enhancing Wi-Fi range in that direction. OnHub from ASUS lets you control your OnHub with a wave over the top. For example, wave to prioritize a device to ensure it has enough Wi-Fi bandwidth.
