What Else?

To create WiFiShield we take a standard internet router and sprinkle it with some of our magic. We install some specially customised firmware to make sure that the protection is active, always, no excuses. Next we update the config to make sure it will plug & play nicely with your existing broadband. Then we send it you to fit & forget.
