More Versatile Wi-Fi Routers

You do see routers with smart capabilities these days, although it’s generally limited to switching between bands or supporting voice assistant controls. CHIP could change that in some ways: watch for a new type of Wi-Fi router that functions as a hub more for complex home automation, like security setups. This could remove the need for a separate smart hub entirely for any systems that may still need one while making it easier to set up devices simultaneously.
