Over a year after releasing a neglected Wi-Fi router, Google is preparing to release a brand new router called Google Wi-Fi:
OnHub-schmonhub: two sources are now telling us that Google will introduce an own-brand Wi-Fi router called Google Wifi, and that the device will cost $129. A source that has proved reliable in the past has told us that the device will be launched alongside Google's Pixel phones, Google Home, and the 4K 'Chromecast Ultra' on October 4th.
Chromecast Ultra could be a good device for installing Kodi on, although it will cost more than previous generations ($69 vs. $35). The device will reportedly have support for high dynamic range (HDR) video.

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.

Unless the device runs on 100% Free Software, I want nothing to do with this. What's sad is that companies like Google have more than enough resources to completely respect users' freedoms, and yet many of their products use proprietary software. A few small companies have products that won the FSF's Respects Your Freedom certification, and getting there was extremely difficult because of their limited resources. There are no such excuses for Google.
