Google WiFi Router ASUS – Onhub AC1900 with Wave control
by Brendan
** Used to be good…What a night and day difference. We had been using TP-Link’s N600 (WDR3600) router for about 2 years. It was sufficient in the small 1,000 sq foot home we were in. When we moved to a slightly larger 1,500 sq foot , we noticed weak spots that caused videos to buffer or display in unacceptable quality. Since making the switch, not only has the Asus OnHub eliminated dead zones, but we also get coverage out in the driveway, and even up to the stop sign at the end of the road, seriously.The peace of mind that the router will always be up to date regarding security as well as not having to reboot is worth the steep price tag. We have the OnHub connected to an 8-port Netgear Ethernet switch (GS208) which is something you’ll want considering the 1 and only LAN port the OnHub offers, no biggie here as you can pick up a switch for $20-25.The only issue we had with the router was configuration (DNS). We noticed intermittent stalls in requests, so disconnecting and reconnecting to Wifi was the temporary fix. The permanent fix? Using the ISP’s DNS instead of the router’s default Google Public DNS. The Google Wifi phone reps were very knowledgeable and helpful.=================Edit (18 months later):We have been noticing some devices (especially iOS devices) will show as connected to Wifi but can’t load anything. The fix has been to turn off and on Wifi on the affected device. This seems to be a known issue as other users have reported, since July 2018 until now, October 2018.Another recent issue being the band steering. Devices now prefer 2.4 GHz instead of staying on 5 GHz like it used to. We purchased a 2nd OnHub to set up as a secondary mesh point in hopes of alleviating this issue but it seems the devices still prefer 2.4 GHz and want to stay stuck to the previous mesh point when roaming around. The max speed you will get on the 2.4 GHz band is about 80 Mbps – not ideal when you pay for significantly higher speeds. The latest firmware is on both units and I’ve done multiple hard resets and the issue still persists.

This is the answer to wireless congestion. If you’re thinking about it, just do it! Buy this router. I promise you won’t be disappointed. There are 2 adults and 2 children. We each have a wireless device as well 10 other wireless devices around the home. Wifi is very congested? With my old router, I never had any dead spots in my home. But my wifi speeds were SLOW. My wireless speeds were between 20mbs and 50mbs. From time to time I could get as high as 75mbs. But that was a rarity. With this router I can consistently get speeds of 100mbs. Absolutely amazing! Today I tested at over 200mbs (see photo). I’m going to add a single Google wifi just so I can get a better connection in the back yard.Setup was SO EASY. I disconnected my old router and had this one up, running and everything connected in less than 30 minutes.If you need the advanced router settings, then this isn’t for you. Very basic stuff here. I do use the DHCP reserve for my external drives. There’s also a USB port on the back that doesn’t seem to do anything…weird. Perhaps a future update will enable that?I also don’t like that there’s only the one ethernet port and there’s a USB port on the back that doesn’t seem to do anything…weird. Perhaps, a future firmware update will enable it? Also don’t like that there’s not a built in switch. But all good. I had an extra 8 port switch laying around.

It’s been one month in since I’ve received, setup, and have been using my ASUS/Google OnHub and I’ve got to say… I am very happy and grateful that Google makes great, reliable and economical products. Let me just start off by saying that I don’t have the need to do anything fancy such as port forwarding or any of that nonsense. My original router was actually a hybrid made by Motorola and was the SBG6580 model which some of you fellow cable users might be accustomed to. Well after having that modem/router combo I noticed that I was having major problems with the wifi in addition to the low strength and throttled speeds in my apartment. Never had an issue with hardwired devices plugged directly to the modem but found myself resetting my Motorola every couple days if not every day. Of course I couldn’t put up with it anymore and hence I am now a very proud and happy owner of the OnHub.Packaging: Very simplistic, beautiful, and elegant would be the best way to describe it. Then again, have you ever bought a Google device and experienced otherwise? You’ll find the OnHub router upon taking off the top part of the box and underneath are simple basic instructions as well as the power cable and flat wire ethernet cable.Setup: I’ve had my fair share of setting up routers, and let me tell you, it isn’t a walk in the park for the most part. You connect it to a desktop and configure all the settings for the wifi name, password, etc. and sometimes it takes you several minutes just to get through the interface of said configurations. With the ASUS OnHub, you simply plug it in to your router, bust out your phone, Apple device, or Android device and use the corresponding OnHub app. Believe me when I say it’s as easy as signing into your Google account and pressing a couple of buttons and letting the OnHub do all the setup itself. It might take a while (20 minutes give or take) depending on how up to date the firmware is but once it’s all done, you just have to choose your network name and network passcode and you’re all good to go!Performance: My network settings probably isn’t optimal and the best as it’s currently configured mainly because I plugged in the OnHub directly to my modem and didn’t go into bridge mode. You may ask “why wouldn’t you bridge?” and my answer is simply, I need all the LAN ports on my modem for my desktop and private cloud server in addition to the LAN port for the OnHub. With all that being said though, this has no effect on my wifi performance though. In addition to getting a very generous range from the OnHub, my download speeds have been significantly boosted. Screenshots from my iPad show the differences in download speeds with the SBG 6580 against the OnHub. With both long range and unhindered maximum wifi speeds, I do not regret spending the $200 for this device.Pricing: Is it really worth it to buy a router that essentially is constrained and limited in configuration for the typical network geek and buff? Probably not. If, you’
