There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I purchased my first unit because Xfinity sent me a new router "to be able to fully take advantage of increased speeds in our area". They failed to mention however that their new router had a built in wireless component. My wireless situation is a bit difficult due to the layout of our home and the custom set up I was using was barely acceptable as it was. After plugging in Xfinity's new router w/ built in wifi router it was terrible. I purchased the Almond to attempt to extend the range.
For some reason the Almond did not recognize the signal from the Xfinity router unless it was literally sitting right next to the Xfinity wireless router, which did me no good. I don't know if the initial unit I got was bad, or if it was an issue with the new Xfinity router. I can tell you this, I called Almond and the gentleman I spoke with, while a little difficult to understand, was amazing. He helped me, called me back the next day just to see if the issue was handled and to offer any additional assistance, and I believe even e-mailed me a follow up. Not obnoxious in any way, just genuinely wanting to follow up. I returned the first unit.
In the meantime, I called Comcast to explain that their built in wifi router sucked and to ask what the solution was. The Comcast person explained that they could remotely turn off the wifi component of the router (no mention of THAT anywhere in writing...) and I could use my previous Linksys router if I wanted, to which I gladly accepted. This got me back to square one of having marginally acceptable coverage throughout my home. After this I got to thinking, I wonder if the Almond unit would work with my Linksys router and actually make my coverage better. Based on this hope I ordered a replacement unit several weeks after returning the first.
The second unit arrived very timely as Amazon always seems to do. I was familiar with the set up process which takes about 2 minutes (1:45 of that is just waiting for the unit to boot and connect to your network for the first time) so I plugged the unit in, selected that I wanted to use it as a range extender, entered my network password and ta-da it was extending my network. The really cool thing is that it saves it's settings, so if we go back by the lake I can unplug it and take it by a window on that side of the house and I have 2-3 bars of wifi probably 150-200 feet at the end of the pier. No re-entering passwords, etc. Just unplug, plug it in where you're going to be, and it just works. Normally, I leave it plugged in more in the middle of the house in the basement - this extends strong signal to all parts of our home. In fairness, I don't know if my first experience was actually an issue with the Almond unit, with the Xfinity unit, or if the two just don't play well together for some reason.
Bottom line - this is a really cool, seamless product. It could not be easier to set up, has really cool "beta" features like displaying weather or clock on the screen for the 99.9% of time when you're not actively using the screen to do something to the router, and it just looks cool. No one would have any idea that this is a router/range extender if you plugged it in and put it on your desktop or on your bookshelves. And after getting it all running and being ecstatic, you still get a follow up letter like this (albeit a form letter):
"We hope you are doing well.
As the inventor of Almond, I would like to thank you for taking a chance on our new company and choosing our wireless router. All of us at Securifi hope Almond has lived up to your expectations, and maybe surpassed them.
We also value your feedback and would love it if you would take a moment to review our product. Almond competes with routers from behemoths like Apple, Linksys, and Netgear, so your thoughts (we hope they are positive!) would go a long way in persuading others to give Almond a try.
Your review could be just a few sentences and does not need to be very long. Of course, if writing reviews is not your thing, that is OK: we understand.
Even though Almond is super intuitive and powerful, we understand it may not suit some users needs. If this is the case, you can apply for a refund through Amazon. Please mention that its defective so you can receive a full refund including shipping.
Also, we are available toll free at 1 (855) 969 7328, Mon - Fri, 10 AM to 6 PM EST. Or just hit the reply button and ask your question via email right now. "
How cool is that? Totally humble and I can tell you from experience this is actually how the deal with you. They seem to care.
My only question, and I intend to research, is if they are public or private? This is the kind of company that you should invest in while they are young. Great product, great service, reasonable price. Nice.
Great job Securifi.
Product setup: I had it up and running within 5 minutes (could be less but it went too fast so I lost count). It connected flawlessly to my Apple Extreme router without issue. I quickly tapped into the Firmware update menu, and see if I need to do any updates. As of today (3/6/2013), the firmware has already been updated to the latest at the time they shipped it. Awesome! The range is very good. I would give it a 8 out of 10 as it doesn't have an external antenna, but it will probably spoil the elegant design of its simplistic look. That part is totally forgivable.
Customer support: This is really worth buying the product alone as you don't see this kind of service everyday these days.
When I setup the Almond, I noticed that the _Almond was attached to the SSID of my router. I don't want that to be attached since I hate to toggle between the Router's and the Almond's SSID manually. I basically want my connection seamless. I'm too embarrassed to mention of what I have overlooked, but I couldn't find the way to make the SSIDs identical. I called Securifi's tech support but I hung up while I had another incoming call. About 5 minutes later, I got a call from Securifi, I thought, that was strange as I didn't leave any voice mail to them, but they called me anyway. The female lady I spoke to, spoke perfect American English, which I had absolutely NO problem understanding, introduced herself professionally, and walked me through the setup process patiently. Guess what? Within two minutes (this time, I did count), the annoying _Almond SSID is gone! She did resolved my issues effectively.
I praise Securifi for two things, Outstanding product with a beautiful and elegant design, and a top-notch, out-of-this world customer support. What more can you ask for? They will come up with a newer product, which will be released around September. For sure I will buy from them again.
Hope this helps you to make your purchasing decision. Please rate and comment if you have a few minutes. This lets me know that it's worth my time and efforts writing this sort of review. Cheers.

+++++++++++++++++++++++ Follow up review - after 20 days of deployment 3/26/2013 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Observations:
1. Unit is still working great with no hiccups. The only time I have to restart the unit, is when I had to adjust the wireless channel. Almond didn't seem to pick it up automatically but self-fixed after the reboot
2. When the unit was situated right next to my aquarium (17 gallons), the signal was weakened, but everything back to normal when I re-situated it to a different spot. It appears that the water volume has affected the Almond adversely.
3. The time-out settings tweak: If I put 1000 seconds on the time-out setting, the LCD appeared to be lit all the time and doesn't go dark anymore. This might be helpful if you want to "show off" your Almond screen. :-)
4. Weather (temperature) does NOT refresh automatically until you hit the "REFRESH" button.
Conclusion: Definitely no major flaw at all and I'm still a happy camper.
Top reviews from other countries
Now that we have touch screen, we can demand any thing ;) a foto frame, movie player, radio, alarm, reminder, to do list n my list goes on :))
I would have loved more ports for physical connection (I have 2 PCs n a printer) but remedied with a dumb cheap hub, not at all a deal breaker. Finally, truly impressed with the signal out put, a wonderful device with future-proof technology and good VFM.
I was a fan of Cisco products in the past but now I have become a huge fan of my new almond router.
And the Best part is that the router doesn't need any junky or heavy setup,its just like plug and play and the display screen looks awesome like weather updates,time popping in making it look even better.
And not to mention world class customer care (satisfaction) service are almost as best as HP care services.
Really worth the price.
Cons: Now, Almond puts up signals such a far that even my neighbors can see my Almond's signal and keep on asking me for its password :(
Touchscreen takes it to the next level..
The Almond eliminates high blood pressure associated with installing a new router.
All their marketing is true.
Highly recommended..
