Google wasn’t in the conversation, and it didn’t have a router available for purchase (or even a real hardware division, for that matter).įast-forward to 2019, and Google lays claim to the top-selling router, thanks to the popularity of its Google Wifi mesh system, which it introduced in 2016. Five years ago, the router world was dominated by names like Netgear, Asus, TP-Link, and Linksys.
