Google OnHub: The Ultimate WiFi Router? - Comments Page 2

I refuse to go android for security & privacy reasons. A possibly smart and very expensive router will not change my mind.
What I want is dynamic blocklist facilities by both URL names and absolute addresses. What chance is there that Google will let me block their extensive privacy intrusions via their own router?

You say: "My guess is that OnHub’s resemblance to Amazon’s Echo is no accident; you’re going to talk to OnHub and it will talk back, someday soon."
I'm not paranoid, but it sounds like Google will be able to listen in on conversations, not to mention what everyone is doing on their devises via the router. It's a new world for us Baby Boomers!
Thanks for all your great information, Bob!

Being that it's a Google product, I would first ask what data collection it does behind the scenes, and how it does it. Many nice features, yes, but some things are missing or not listed--LAN ports, firewall. Using Android to access the router seem like a bad security idea to me. Price of $199.99 is attractive, but I think the new Netgear Nighthawk tri-band router ($276 at Amazon) is a more secure and safer option.
