Google plans to release its own, self-branded wireless router dubbed “Google Wi-Fi” that will retail for $129, according to Android Police.
The Google Wi-Fi router is expected to be released at Google’s October 4 event, according to the blog, which has correctly pegged past Google releases. The router is said to be designed like a small, white Amazon Echo Dot, and you can reportedly expand it with multiple access points.
Android Police further reports that Google’s take on Amazon Echo called Google Home, which was announced at Google I/O in May, will cost $129. Home works as a voice-activated speaker capable of connecting to devices around the home (such as the Nest thermostat) and completing basic tasks like playing music or searching Google.
A Chromecast Ultra with 4K capability will reportedly cost $69. We have reached out to Google for more information.
Google’s plan to release a wireless router could suggest a bigger home push from the search giant, as competitors like Amazon and Apple have gone further into the home.
