Almost everyone knows about Google, but some people don’t know that they also manufacture a Wifi device. This device is called OnHub or simply known as Google Wifi. 

With Google as being the manufacturer, you can expect a lot from it. And yes, you can expect that it can perform well and a reliable Wifi access point.

They even made a software called the “Google Wifi App”. This software can be used for remotely managing the OnHub devices from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection.

One of the most interesting features of this app is the ability to set the network priority. With this feature, you will be able to adjust the device connectivity. This is important if there’s a lot or multiple devices connected to your access point.

You can make your device the highest priority so even if the network is already congested, you won’t feel the slow down of the internet. Another good thing about this software is you can limit the usage time of your kids or guest network activity.

This app can also change the SSID and update the password of your Google Wifi devices for a hassle-free setup. Since the Google Wifi app is very useful, most people opt for installing this on their computer.

However, as of now, there is no available version made for the Windows nor Mac Operating System. To use this app on a computer, you need to run the Android version on your computer which also explains from this link. To summarize it, you need an emulator program to run it on PC.

Requirements Of An Emulator Program

Since you are going to use an emulator to run the Google Wifi app, you need to see if you have a computer capable of it. The emulator does not require a very powerful computer, but if your hardware is old already, check the system requirements before you install it.

• Your computer processor must be able to run a minimum of 1 GHz speed. This is one of the most major requirements for running it.

• The memory must be 2 GB or above. If you have lower than the minimum requirements, try increasing the virtual memory.

• The hard disk must have a space enough for downloading and installing the emulator and of course, the Google Wifi app. 10 GB is more than enough for this.

• Install the Visual C++ both the x64 and x86 versions. You can download the installer by going to the website of the Microsoft Corporation.

• To avoid issues related to the graphics, it is also suggested to update your graphics card driver.

• It also requires that you have a DirectX and OpenGL installed on your machine.

• To speed up the emulation, you can also enable the optional settings called virtualization. This option can be found on the UEFI or BIOS. Boot your computer to BIOS and enable this option to increase the speed of the emulator.

How To Install The Emulator Program ?
