Almond+ Looks To Reinvent The Router

/

Routers are like printers. With technology advancing at a blazing pace, they remain some of the most difficult, expensive, and frustrating pieces of gadgets we still use. Securifi is a company that is working to redesign and rethink the way we use wireless routers with the Almond+.

The Almond+ is roughly the size of an iPad and uses a 2.8 inch TFT screen to control all of its functions. Gone are the days of configuring and setting up your wi-fi via your PC or Mac. Plug it in. Follow the on screen directions and you’re set to go. It's as easy as that and your parents will love it. On top of being a router, it comes with ZigBee and Z-Wave, technologies that allow you to control lights and lock/unlock your door wirelessly. Check out the tech specs below for more information.

  • 802.11ac + n Dual Band Concurrent
  • 2.4GHz 2x2 MIMO - 300Mbps
  • 5GHz 2x2 MIMO - 867 Mbps
  • 2.8” TFT Touchscreen
  • Linux 2.6.36

  • ZigBee (2.4GHz)
  • Z-Wave US (908MHz)

If you’re tired of setting up and managing your parents wireless problems or you’re just looking for a modern answer to the router, you can pick one up on Kickstarter for $95.
