From the Review in Ars Technica

"I'm a very senior sysadmin with a hand-configured Linux router, a wide panoply of tools ranging from netdata to ntop-ng to nagios, an "enterprise-lite" wired Wi-Fi access point system, and more. Despite all that, Monitor-IO managed to offer me useful insights into my Internet connection and local network that I didn't already have and would have to work pretty hard to duplicate. For a $100 IoT gadget, that's pretty impressive." - Jim Salter, Ars Technica

Feedback from our customers

“I'm really liking this system and the data I get quite a lot.  It couples in quite nicely with the Line Monitor service that I get through DSLReports.com so that I get internet availability and quality data from my end (through you guys) as well as availability data from the outside world (through their reporting).  Keep up the great work!  I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys can do as time goes on.”     – James Z.

“Received my unit yesterday and hooked it up. Already picked up issues with my internet connection which is giving me evidence to go back to ISP… Really like the Red / Orange / Green indications, as I still get time degradation issues but these are not capture by my ISP only drops. The evidence from the monitor-io helped when talking to the telecoms engineer, with new wiring being installed to solve the drops.”   – Graham P.

“…I completely freakin love this thing! I work from home on a productivity-based job, and having some actual evidence that my internet has flaked out is totally invaluable. Thanks! Highly impressed with your company. I have recommended the monitor to a couple of co-workers who also rely on a consistent internet connection!” – Dan D.
​
“…the Monitor-IO is a great little tool and I will be recommending them to my friends and family thank you ....” – Aaron C.

“… Plugged in, registered and all working without issue. … So far, really impressed with both the local and cloud based functionality. It's already identified that there is an issue with the quality of my internet service and the problem most likely lies close to home which actually wouldn't surprise me as the card in the VDSL box near me is on its last legs according to the engineer who was last in there……..Well put together, slick, easy to follow application and delivered very quickly. Great work @Monitor-io!”   – Stu

"Thanks to monitor-io we were able to detect a computer virus on one of our network’s workstations that was spewing out random emails at all hours and clogging our network. However, even after we got rid of the virus we continued to have a poor, spotty & slow connection. We realized that we had outgrown our service and needed to increase our bandwidth and move to a more reliable internet connection. So this month we’re moving our ISP from [ed: ISP name deleted] at 10 Mbps to [ed: ISP name deleted] at 50 Mbps, upgradable to 100 Mbps and at a much lower monthly cost. Thank you for letting me sample this device, it was a big help in identifying our problems and solving them. As a small-to-medium size business owner, I can say this is a very valuable tool that helped us save money and become more efficient." – Patti G. (VP/CFO)

“I love this device. Now I know exactly which devices are on my network, how it's performing, and when I have trouble with [ed: ISP name deleted] (regularly), I can prove it's THEIR network that is at fault not something in my house. Thank you for this product!!!” – Burt M. 

“Very Helpful Product - easy to set up & easy to use. Default Reports & diagnostics & available notifications very helpful for those like me who understand the basics but might otherwise be described as a bit technically challenged. I used to think I didn't have enough going on to need something like this (i.e. not a big gamer and don't do a lot of streaming). Now that I have it, and use it, I wouldn't think of doing without it. Much better visibility on Network Performance and solving vexing Network vs Device questions. Made me much smarter & troubleshooting a lot easier. Highly Satisfied!” – David W. 

"Pros: 1) Super easy to install (Bonus: Came in minimal packaging - very green) 2) iOS App, on-line access and local network access makes it easy to configure/change options on the fly 3) I know when my high-schoolers friends all showed up to the party and registered their devices 4) Was able to debug and report a couple of broadband connectivity issues to my ISP within the first couple of months .... Cons: 1) I want the device to be colored metallic - they don't have it on the road-map (yet)" – Tej K.

“Perfect solution for my home and for my mother-in-law. Makes troubleshooting the glitches at home easy, quick and fun. Saves me even more time now that I don't have to do "house calls' to troubleshoot my mother-in-laws frequent "outages".” – Jim Z. 

“Loved being able to keep an eye on my network and devices while we were away over the holidays!!” – Emily M. 

 “Good insight and easy to use - I particularly like the live notifications when a new device is added to my network.” – Ben Z.
