PerfTech, Inc., a creator of specialized networking products, announces ISLAND, a router that brings enterprise-grade speed and features to tech-laden homes and small businesses. A wired router, Island works with existing Wi-Fi mesh systems placed in AP or bridge mode. Key to bridging the gap between enterprise complexity and consumer useability is the Island app, designed for simplicity.
Why Island“Connection demands on loaded home and SMB networks have exploded,” stated CEO Lewis Donzis. “They need not only speed, but oversight; customers want to know who or what is connected and control access by device. Island solves those issues. It lets us enjoy our connected spaces to the maximum but minimize the effort to manage them.”What makes Island easy
- Island automates many facilities for which other routers require painful configuration including a stateful firewall, interfaces and VLANs, device discovery, security filtering, and DoH.
- Island streamlines setup for remote access, VPN, filtering, and scheduling.
- Island’s device-centric architecture enables assigning names, icons and colors to devices, users, and groups, making everything else simple—forget IP addresses.
- The app always presents the simplest, most logical view first from a bird’s-eye summary to online-only to historical views. The most active entities appear at the top of lists and graphs. Placing advanced settings under “Geek Mode” keeps day-to-day functions uncluttered.
