In a recent blog post, Google explains how OnHub connects to your WiFi network while maintaining the fastest speeds:
“During setup, OnHub searches the airwaves and selects the best channel for the fastest connection. A unique antenna design and smart software keep working in the background, automatically adjusting OnHub to avoid interference and keep your network at peak performance.”
