The main dealbreaker for me here is the lack of ethernet ports. I currently have a Sonos bridge and a NAS device plugged into my router.
The lack of a web interface is also a problem, but should be resolved at some point based on other comments in this thread.
- sciurus 11y agoYou should be able to pick up a 5-port gigabit switch for around $25.
- dublinben 11y agoBut you shouldn't have to. This is a $200 router.
- BinaryIdiot 11y agoWhen the majority of your demographic won't need more than a single port (if that) I would argue that an "accessory" is just fine.
- kbd 11y agoExactly. It's enough to make me wait for the next version.
- simoncion 11y agoI would rather have my LAN stay up while my router is rebooting than save a slot on a power strip. Perhaps I am in a minority.
- kbd 11y agoWhat does it mean for your LAN to stay up if your devices connected wirelessly lose connectivity and the other devices on your LAN lose Internet access when your router goes down?
- simoncion 11y agoThe majority of the devices on my LAN are wired and -even though this might not apply to OnHub users[0]-, my wireless APs are also attached to a switch. So, what it means for my LAN when my router reboots is that the LAN loses Internet access [1] for about a minute. [0] I guess we don't know how sophisticated the link handling is in the OnHub. It might be able to keep the AP active and pass traffic through it (and its LAN port) while restarting the OS and do similar things while restarting the AP. The marketing copy does make it sound like you'll get near-constant connectivity, no matter what the software on the thing is doing, and I have seen (ages ago) NICs that would do basic packet handling even if the machine they were attached to was powered down. [1] And -I think- all uPnP-initiated port forwards.
