Are there new features along with the new hardware? Looking over the demo, there’s a few things that I feel are truly missing:

• Bandwidth usage reports. Especially by user and by device. Should be able to click on a user and then see how their devices are responsible for the bandwidth usage;
• Notification of new devices connecting to the network
• Notification of network connectivity issues
• Site “monitoring” — What sites and (estimate of) how much time each user spent at a given site
• Nice to have: Integrated speed tests with notification of results

Does the “Block proxy, VPN, TOR” setting imply blocking access to annonymizer web sites?

Also, does the new hardware allow the configuration of a separate guest network? If so, can you have a profile for unassigned devices which connect to the guest network which is different than unassigned devices connecting to the “primary” network?

Thanks,

Jay

As with @skydogtookmycash, my skydog is expiring soonish and I need to find a new option. Can you provide some guidance on possible release dates for the new hardware?

thanks,

If you’re looking for testers, I’d be glad to try it out. I’ve got 4 kids of varying ages with different schedules; I’m currently using Skydog, and looking for something that is newer, faster and (gasp!) supported. I’m work at home at least once a week, and often have some large downloads / uploads both wired and wireless.

Is there a timeline for the Gigabit version of the router? An estimated price?

What about the multiple LANs? (Sorry, I know I asked a lot of questions, and it’s easy to miss some 😉

Also, what about remote access? Can the interface be configured to be accessed from somewhere “out on the internet” in a secure fashion? Maybe the router has (or could have) a VPN for incoming connections?

As for the USB port, I’ve thought before of setting up shared drive or perhaps as an easy way to make my printer available to chromebooks (since my printer is not Google print compatible).

Thanks for the quick answers!
