      $99/year is a lot. Considering most home equipment is less than $99 total, that per year on top of a purchase price is steep.

        And on top of that subscription "only" 100Mbit bandwidth.

            $199 is not bad, but I wonder about that $99/year service. Will it stop working if I decide not to pay?

            Well that prices it out of home user use. 😞

              $199 is a bit bad compared to $50 or so for a common alternative. 400% is a lot for a home user to swallow.

                Agreed... I could see this being a $100 box one time fee, and $50/yr for the service... It would still be a hard sell, especially if they don't need to forgo antivirus on the computers inside the network...

                  I cannot imagine someone buying a $200 "box" for security. When a $99/year subscription is tossed in there as well it goes from "maybe some people will buy this" to "maybe one person will buy this".

                    Should have made it with a 5 port 10gbit router + sexy wifi integrated to get rid of insecure access issues while they were at it

                      The 5 port switch would have been a great add... I can take or leave the WAP.

                        Ditto, but I'm picturing the work from home stock broker on a bedazzled ipad grunting and poking at the screen

                          Yeah an AIO device would be probably the best.
