YouTube Influencer Willie Howe Gives Initial Nod to Island
With 82k+ subscribers to his YouTube channel, network technology expert Willie Howe offered introductory comments on Island, launched in 2023. His mentions begin at 30 minutes in and last for approximately 4 minutes during a one-hour video blog on December 9, 2023. While Willie states that he intends to deliver a more in-depth review of the router after thorough testing, his first take was full of positive impressions relating to Island's quality Intel processor, the experience of the Island team, the router’s “cool” design, content filtering, and most of all, its extremely fast performance. He concludes that Island is likely to "make a big splash” in the market.

Island featured in CEPro’s Top Routers for 2023
Island has been recognized in CEPro’s November 23 article, “A Look at the 11 Leading WiFi 6 Routers on the Market for 2023,” with one distinction: while the Island router is a relatively new product on the market-and while the reseller base is a new audience to us, we are not new to the networking market. Our core engineering team invented the first local area network (ARCNET) in the 1970’s, and has created a myriad of products since then targeted to the enterprise and carrier networking markets. The rationale for building a consumer router was driven primarily by our founders’ frustrations at the lack of high-performance router options for their own homes. Their deep knowledge and experience in software and hardware design led to the unique feature-set of Island: proprietary, patented software developed over decades, now geared to homes and small businesses.
