THE BEST INTERNET POSSIBLE
How is Island better than other routers?
When a team of awarded network engineers decide to build a router, you get Island.
Most people don’t grasp how important the router has become. All homes have an ever-growing number of smart devices and the collective “load” effect has changed dramatically. So have the security concerns.
Island routers are wired by design. Their security and performance far exceed other routers in the smart home space including WiFi and mesh, providing another level, entirely.
-
Your internet speed is relative to your router’s capability. Island router performance is 2x to 10x faster than other popular routers. Island achieves 3.7 Gbps aggregated throughput—Island Pro attains 40 Gbps, all while maintaining firewall and VPN functions at wire-speed.
-
Dropped connections and rebooting are inexcusable in the current landscape. If your home or business can’t risk going offline for even one second, Island’s failover protection is so fast you won’t notice the switch to your backup provider. Advanced gamers praise Island's failover for not disrupting gameplay.
-
Island’s next-gen firewall safeguards the personal data and privacy of every device on your network, putting a comfortable arm’s length between you, your internet provider and everything else on the web. From monitoring the devices on your network, to trouble-shooting unforeseen network hiccups, Island lets you take ownership of your network and manage it simply.
-
Island manages up to 5,000 devices; the Island Pro can manage 10,000. All device insights, activity logs and filtering run locally—not in the cloud. The app offers “standard” and “geek mode” to serve the tech savvy and non-tech savvy alike. A next-gen firewall, DPI, IPS, URL filtering, quarantining new devices, DNS-over-HTTPS, and WireGuard VPN are all built in, with no subscription fees.

Sustainability:
We chose to invest in more manufacturing onshore in the U.S. than other router companies. Though somewhat more costly, we wanted to build a premium-grade, enterprise-class router that reflects our company values.
Supported in USA:
When you have an issue with an Island router, you’ll be matched to a customer support agent at our HQ in Texas. If we can’t solve your problem with an email, you’ll get a phone call direct.Security:
The code for Island has only been loaded internally at Island HQ in the U.S. This is a quality control measure. As one of our earliest customers noted, “I wanted to update my wireless to Wi-Fi 6E, but do not trust the security of the built-in router functions of any of the 6E access points.”Expertise:
Our team played a major role in the creation of the first Local Area Network (LAN), ARCNET, still used by NASA today. Yes, that dates us a bit, but our team has 100+ collective years of network technology experience, including 65+ U.S. Patents.
Design:
We believe design and technology should go hand in hand; both Island and Island Pro have received Red Dot Industrial Design nods.
Real-time Parental Controls
Island has parental controls with pre-set and custom options like scheduling and notifications for every device on your network. Unlike other routers, Island manages the increased load demands from security features so your network performance is never affected by parental controls. Island doesn’t charge a subscription fee for anything.
