Luma's 'Surround WiFi' Uses Multiple Routers for Better Internet Signals
Christopher Magsambol — November 6, 2015 — Tech
Following in the footsteps of Google's Onhub, Luma has released a new easy-to-set-up WiFi device called 'Surround WiFi.' This device differs from others because it lets you improve Internet connectivity through the use of multiple routers throughout your home. The use of more than one router increases coverage, but more importantly, doesn't require additional setup.
Luma uses 'enterprise grade' security and parental control through a smartphone-connected app. Through the accompanying app, users will be able to block unwanted users, connect devices without a password needed and set up website ratings for your children. Parents will also be able to add timers to control their kid's online activity.
The Surround WiFi device is perfect for those of us who aren't exactly tech-savvy and provides an easy-to-use alternative.
