Right now, the WiFi is a very limited technology. There are many things that need works instead of upgrades. To sum it all up, the WiFi technology so far is highly imperfect. But, in this reign of imperfect technology, there comes a router which gives you a cutting-edge taste of speed and authority. Yes, the Portal by Ignition Design Labs!
Portal is a highly capable router. Although it is a newcomer to the WiFi World, the $199 Portal is somehow easy on the eyes and pocket in addition to being a high-end competitor in the router-World.
Portal comes with a sleek shape which has 9 antennas. Yes, 9 antennas! This is a mesh networked router which enables the users to move their WiFi Devices to their own dedicated slices! This way, WiFi congestion in the home is literally put to an end by these devices.
All of the above features gave the Portal a successful selling on the Kickstarter, and the product is now up for grabs on the Amazon. The following are the outstanding features the Portal comes with:
1. In-Built Antenna Design:
As mentioned before, the router comes with 9 antennas. But you do not see the antennas right? Well, it is because they are packed inside the body of the routers. These antennas along with the strongly aesthetic design of the router ensure the highest level of detail in the beauty of the router.
Moreover, the router has only one LED on its top, which flashes green when the router is working in the way it is supposed to be. In addition to that, the router has 2 in-built USB 2.0 ports and 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
The only issue in so far is the power cord length. It is just 4 feet in the length. We would definitely love it even more if the cutting-edge router comes with a cutting-edge power cord. However, the cord of appropriate length is easily acquirable.
2. Simplistic Handling Approach:
The handling and managing of this router is very simple. The traditional setup of the WiFi routers drains a big deal of energy in making the first setups to bring the router in a working shape, but Portal is different.
It comes with a Bluetooth based setup system that ensures that you don't waste your energy in the setup phase. The instructions are easy and informative and you can get started on the router via your mobile (app required.)
3. 5 GHz Bands Offering: (UNIQUE ASPECT)
Now this is the cutting-edge factor of the router. The 5GHz frequency is something that has never seen the face of routers, or even the consumer sector. The FastLanes, or the 5GHz spectrum is so far, set aside for the military and commercial radar equipment, such as weather etc.
The Portal is significant amongst the giants to offer both 2.4GHz spectrum and the 5GHz spectrum. This is the only router in the market that is offering 5GHz spectrum to the consumers. Although the 5GHz spectrum does not turn your 50mbs package into a 100gb, but it is quite empty due to its lack of usage, so you can enjoy the maximum bandwidth the device has to offer.
In a sense, the Portal is a high-end router with high-end features. It is a low priced competitor for the routers of Google and other tech biggies but offers the same price and satisfaction to the users. A cutting-edge router definitely! Haven't checked it out, head over here!
