Google today is rolling out a software update to Google Wifi and OnHub devices. The update comes as version 9460.40.5 and brings bug fixes and a few other improvements, including new features and capabilities…

On its support forum, Google says that the software update includes IPv6 support, which brings a host of improvements in and of itself. IPv6 includes things such as more efficient routing and processing, simplified network configuration, improved security, and much more.

In addition to IPv6 support, there’s a new warning for when you try to pause your own device, as well as the ability to delete a custom name for a device. The update also adds a new Network Check feature that makes it easier for users to quickly and easily see performance of their mesh speeds.
