Next-gen Google Home could control your lights and fix your bad Wi-Fi

It's barely been five months since Google Home arrived to take over homes and there are already whispers of version 2.0. According to a report from The Information, Google's working on an upgraded version of Home that'll also double as a Wi-Fi router and mesh network. To put it in simpler terms, the next-gen Google Home could be half speaker/Google Assistant (what it currently is) and half Google Wifi. Instead of buying and setting up two devices, you'd only need one. By including Wi-Fi router capabilities, Google would be able to "make its Assistant service faster" the report claims.
