I got the Almond+ from the crowdfunding initiative, blown away by the richness of features and ease of use. Hungry for every firmware update, ultimately hoping for not just a all-in-one device, but in particular for a reliable solution. Hope dies last, but it now has died.
I never got any reliable wifi performance from this router. It's a pity that it took me so long to realize how good other solutions are. Almond+ is now just an access point to handle a couple of z-wave and zigbee devices. Wifi is handled by Google Wifi now, and holy cr#p what a difference it made. No more drops, or entirely unresponsive networks, video calls are continuously in HD, YouTube streams in 4k, streaming from home NAS is rock solid. Of course, the hardware is much newer and as it's a mesh system it almost is an unfair comparison, but overall, from a consumer perspective, it's a product that works. I don't expect that scheduling automated restarts will be necessary to improve reliability.
The moderators in this forum have been most helpful and I applaud Securifi for choosing an ambitious approach to disrupt home networking. But today you've lost a fan as I need a working product.
