I decided not to use 844G for a couple of reasons. 1. I can buy a gigapoint and 844E a bit cheaper 2. It alows us to install gigapoints anywhere usually in the basement with very short fiber runs then we can install the 844E anywhere else with an easy ethernet run. 3. If homeowner wants to use their own router they can and i dont have to run a 844G in bridge mode.
Otherwise the 844G is a sweet product. Craig schmaderer Skywave Wireless, Inc.

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. On Thursday, April 28, 2016, Sterling Jacobson <sterl...@avative.net<mailto:sterl...@avative.net>> wrote: 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).
