Yeah, you have to get to the right local guy. Very structured sales force.

This is conference season for them, or they could be traveling. Once they
contact your regional manager and then a sales manager, the sales manager will
contact you.
Give it a few business days.

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.

All routers do have this default Admin that the home owners can use
to do some settings. The Support account is the one that we use that gives you
all the settings, and voip settings, and remote management.

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?

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).

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.

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.
