Google has released an update to Google WiFi that, along with the latest firmware for your WiFi or OnHub devices, will allow you to enable IPv6 to your ISP.  For those who are not familiar with IPv6, it is a more advanced version of IPv4 (which you are likely using now) that uses 128-bit addressing of devices.  The theory is you can get more devices on the Internet because there is significantly more IP addresses available with v6.  The lack of IPv6 has been a contention point for many who use Google WiFi or OnHub as it is more secure and is somewhat of a checkbox requirement for a contemporary network device.

The update to bring IPv6 is a combination of firmware for the physical device itself, which is build 9460.40, and the updated app which is in the Play Store.

Today’s Deal is on the RavPower 4-Port USB desktop charger.  Right now you can pick one up for $23.99 on Amazon.  The desktop charger has 4 USB-A ports, one of which supports Quick Charge 3.0 technology.  That port is outlined in green.  The other 3 ports are rated at 5V/2.4A so you can easily charge virtually any phone or tablet with this charger.

The charger has technology built into it to prevent over charging of devices which can lead to damage to your devices.  It is also a compact design, aimed at giving you access to the ports but not taking up a lot of space.  It is roughly the size of a credit card and about 1.5″ in depth.

The RavPower 4-Port charger is eligible for Amazon Prime shipping.  If you are a member, you can get free 2-day shipping or can pay a little extra for one day shipping.

There is no limit to the number of these you purchase but it is limited to today.  The $23.99 price is good for either the black or white models of the charger.

To get more details, head over to Amazon where you can get all the specs and order.
