They claim on the kickstarter page to have built the router themselves, with 3 previous generations. In fact however the hardware they sell for 51$ is available for 20$ by chinese producers:

- androidb 12y agoTheir mistake was not to mention that the hardware isn't built entirely by them (mainboard is bought from China). However, I don't think it's fair (the backslash). They bundle the hardware with a software, they will handle the support, future updates so it's not like they are simply reselling a Chinese item. If this sounds outrageous to you then you should be outraged by 99% of the electronics items sold (because you can always buy them cheaper in China). I'm not a supporter of this anonbox but I don't get all the outrage.
- Mithaldu 12y agoThe problem is that they lied. Under "Four Years, Four Generations" they don't outright say, but make it strongly seem like they created the board itself, and then they even do claim they designed the case. I hope i don't need to explain why this is a death sentence for the project.
