Introducing the High-Performance Island Router 

You probably don’t give a second thought to your home router. It’s the device that connects you to all the wonders (and dangers) of the internet. But it’s a very important device, as it’s part of the foundation of your connectivity to everything you do for work, school, and entertainment. And while one router may seem just like any other, they’re not. Some provide much better performance than others, and some are far more secure. Show and Tell AV advocates for professionally designed and installed home networking solutions, as they keep your devices and data safer and are far more robust and reliable than ISP (Internet Service Provider) and big-box store solutions. To that end, we’re excited to introduce the Island Router to homeowners in Bountiful, UT, a next-generation, commercial-grade connectivity solution. Here’s why you should consider upgrading your network with Island.

It's made to keep up with—and stay ahead of—your digital lifestyle. 

Advanced Security for Peace of Mind

With so much of your information in digital form at your home and online, protecting your activity and data is critical. Island Router has a built-in, zero-configuration firewall that automatically protects against phishing, malware, and other cyber threats.

Whether working from home, monitoring security cameras, or simply browsing the internet, the Island Router's advanced security features help keep your network safe from potential threats.

Intuitive Management
