Dhomass 1.0To add to what others are saying, in addition to GWifi being quite locked down and having no way to access configuration via a browser (only via the Google Home app), the other problem is support. When Google no longer feels like supporting this version of the hardware, they will essentially brick it. They did exactly that to my old OnHub units. I cannot trust Google for networking hardware.
I replaced mine about a month before Google's final shutdown. Right after I bought my new hardware, I saw that OpenWRT was ported to OnHub! Too late for me, unfortunately.
flcinusa 1.0I miss my TPLink OnHub, that thing was a beast until COVID and 2 people WFH and 2 kids schooling from home caused it to need a reset every other day and the range of the radio was getting shorter and shorter
