The primary cause of WiFi being slow and unreliable is just how crowded the shared public radio airwaves are. WiFi enabled devices have to compete over this, and it results in a lot of wasted bandwidth and time.
Touted as the ‘Biggest WiFi Breakthrough in 15 years’, the Portal Now home network system offers a solution. The project began on Kickstarter but is now finally available for order on Amazon for US$199.
With this device, you get superior access speed, reliability and complete home coverage, giving consumers the ultimate wireless Internet experience—eliminating dead spots and buffering—even in the most congested urban environments.
Portal was engineered for demanding urban users and tough crowded environments. Patented technologies enable Portal to access special protected fast channels not available to traditional consumer routers. In high-congestion settings such as city homes and multi-unit apartments, this can mean radically faster Internet speeds and improved coverage versus traditional routers—giving consumers lag-free gaming and smooth, fast 4K video streaming throughout the home.
Portal introduces three ground-breaking technologies to disrupt the staid and stagnant home wireless networking industry:
- FASTLANES™ A multi-channel, zero-wait DFS technology that provides access to multiple uncrowded fast channels in the radar-protected portions of the 5GHz spectrum, yielding between 3x and 5x more wireless capacity than conventional retail routers today;
- SMARTLANES™ A wide-area, self-optimizing network technology utilizing active traffic and interference avoidance that automatically configures your network, and dynamically steers your devices to the optimum fast lane channels to give your devices fast, consistent and more reliable Wi-Fi access;
- NETWORK AUTOPILOT A family of advanced technologies available soon including adaptive auto-mesh enabling multiple Portals to be bridged together both wirelessly and wired for extended coverage. Also, intelligent network steering ensures your smart devices seamlessly transition between 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks and roam between multiple access points, plus active intrusion detection and rolling code guest networking for secure no-touch guest access.
