[quote=Android Police]Google hasn't said much about how its new OnHub router works—it's a mysterious black box (blue cylinder, technically) with inactive radios and updatable firmware. The modders from Exploitee.rs have gotten their hands on an OnHub, and it didn't take long for them to root it. Interestingly, they rooted it like a Chromebook because that's sort of what the OnHub is—a Chromebook with no screen acting like a router.[/quote]

I don't get why these make the news because as far as I know Google makes these devices with the intention of them being rooted and modded and fucked with in all manners. That's the point.

The bigger news to me is that Google is making a router now.

[quote]On the bottom is a hidden switch screw that enables developer mode (presumably disabling write protect). Inputting ctrl+d prior to hitting that switch boots the OnHub in developer mode, allowing it to boot a USB image. That gave the team the necessary access.[/quote]

I think the point of the source was to say that it runs chrome os
Rooting was inevitable
