Welcome to Your Island
Performance. Security. Oversight.
The Fastest Resimercial Router. Period.
Island is a wired router that offers the most powerful performance boost you can add to a Wi-Fi environment. Using 1GB Ethernet and the smallest packet size available, Island yields a packet rate of >2M packets/second. That’s like going from a sailboat to a speedboat.
Instant Peace of Mind
As soon as you plug it in, Island automatically blocks phishing, malware, botnet, and ransomware sites that could compromise a device on your network. From this base-level of protection, you can customize your Island experience:
• Set specific surfing times, pause Internet usage by user, group, or device.
• Allow/block access from over a dozen high-level categories or apps and drill down to over 90 specific categories.
A Bird’s Eye View
When you log into Island’s intuitive app, you immediately see the state of your sanctuary.
• View all existing, new, and unidentified devices and the network status of each.
• Check out graphs that show data traffic on each device—from the last few hours or the last few years.
• Click on a device and see model number, version, operating system, and much more. Each device and its identifying info are captured and stored by Island. Finally, your entire device inventory catalogued in one place.
