Anyway, yeah these sound neat. I hope more than anything, though, that they have secure firmware. One of the biggest problems faced by the average home is vulnerable router firmware, leaving millions of routers open to exploit for various nefarious purposes.
- hristov 12y agoNo need to be baffled. The start-up graveyards are full of companies that have promised a mesh wireless system and have failed miserably. It is not fear of the unknown, it is a very healthy skepticism towards unsubstantiated marketing claims. Or, in other words -- it is fear of the vaporware. If it all works as advertised, this would be great. But there is no reason to believe these ambitious marketing claims before there is actual product on the shelves.
