I'm pretty frustrated with the Almond+. I don't even need any of the automation - just need reliable, fast wifi. Currently the router is performing worse than our old Airport Express from around 2007. All in all it seems like the firmware releases are taking a long, long time and the product wasn't ready for primetime when it was released. You take a chance when you support something on Kickstarter but I assumed that, at the very least, the Wifi router would work for, you know, Wifi.
