Google has launched its new router – Google Wifi – in Ireland, with the promise of ending the dreaded reception blackspots found in some people’s homes. While the average person sticks with the router given to them by their internet service provider (ISP), Google is attempting to bring alternative routers to the mainstream. Third-party routers have been around for years, but Google’s new device – simply called Google Wifi and now available in Ireland – aims to replicate the success it has had with Google Home. The router works exactly like your old router across all Irish ISPs but adds some features, such as ensuring that all devices using the network are always connected to the strongest signal, without the need to reconnect. This would rid many homes of the infamous Wi-Fi blackspots where no signal seems to be able to reach.
