So, at the risk of sounding hostile, the article notes the following: Eight months later, the OnHub still doesn't support IPv6, and the USB port still can't be used for network storage. Bluetooth, Thread, and Weave support are all still dormant. IFTTT support is great, but shouldn't the priority for a $200 router be in delivering features that were promised from the get-go?

Google I/O is in a few weeks - is it possible this is a precursor to something more involving Weave and other IoT systems?

  I've been waiting to buy a router for the same reason. Expecting newer versions with support for Weave/Brillo being announced. I had also read somewhere that it has a disabled Zigbee/Z-wave radio - don't know if that's true. But it would be nice to have a "smart hub" integrated into your router.

The PM has been very active on various forums talking to users about best ways to implement things like storage. IPv6 is enabled in beta channel (channel switching was accelerated after many users expressed desire for it), and is waiting on upstream stability fixes, which afaik they are submitting directly to the linux kernel. It will roll out when ready, not before. This is what I want from a piece of infrastructure.

  > IPv6 is enabled in beta channel ... and is waiting on upstream stability fixes I'll be interested to see the kernel patches because in my experience the kernel-side of IPv6 has been stable for over a decade, including the past seven years with a native IPv6 Internet connection through Linux routers. Google itself enabled public IPv6 connectivity in 2009 so I am surprised that a Google-affiliated team is having issues with IPv6. > This is what I want from a piece of infrastructure. I want infrastructure to support current networking standards.
