I think that is the portal.  The customer uses the QR code on the router.

Is that via the home gateway itself or via a centralized system (like TR69 
portal) etc?

The customers do have the ability to set up curfews, usage rules, time of day 
usage, rules for particular devices etc.

Sean, do they have access to the calix themselves?

People don't really call that much once they have a calix.  UPnP opens most 
ports that users would need unless they are running their own servers (which we 
don't allow anyway) but if they have their own sever surely they are technical 
enough to figure out port forwarding etc.

  That sounds interesting.

   

  I kind of like the idea of a rented supported system.

   

  But I don’t like the idea of people calling in every time their wireless 
doesn’t reach their attic, or to open up ports to their gaming thingy.

   

  So my real question is this, at $7 a month, does it make enough money to hire 
someone full time to answer the phones on these and be the go-to guy for every 
single problem on their internal network?

   

  If not, then I’m fine staying completely away from this (and hiring people to 
man the phone calls).

  It is a addon straight from calix.  Ask your sales rep.

    If you use consumer connect the are even cheaper.  Best routers i have ever 
sold.  We are starting to use their gigapoints with a 844E and sell a $7 
managed service.  We have about a 90% take rate.  I also get them with 5 year 
warrantys so i know i will never loose money on them. They also have an app for 
the home owner that we are starting to use.

    We have been renting them out for $8/mo

    Nice thing is we can totally get in and troubleshoot anything.

    And the parents can control which devices and which services they allow 
their kids to use.

    Best router ever!  Highly recommend them. 

     

    We sell it as a managed wifi service instead of selling just the router.  
Customer pays $99 "setup fee" and $12/mo.  Clients love them and so do our 
support staff.

      I have read that Calix is a good option, what is the cost? Experience 
with them or others?
