After watching the video about the new Starry wi-fi router, please answer the following question:

What are the pros and cons of the Starry wi-fi router, and do you think that you would by one at the price that they are going to charge?

  1. This product is one of the most innovative yet stupid ideas i have ever heard. $350 for a router is phenomenal for those who don't know what the prices for them are. There are many routers that are good and not even close to $350 yet they think people will just eat it up. The pros are that you can use WiFi with a high cost but........ you can already use WiFi with any other router. If you think i'm going to buy an over priced piece of shiitake then, YOU ARE MISTAKEN. Also miss Mcgrath the fact that you tell us to spell correctly is obsolete because you misspelled buy.

  4. The only con that I saw was the price. It reacts and adjusts to how many people are using the wifi, and how much of it they're using. That's pretty cool.I would not buy one for $350, but if the price drops I might have a look.

  5. While the router seems very advanced and helpful, it's also way too expensive to justify the means. While people like the internet, a lot, they like money a lot more. They will flock to other, less expensive alternatives instead of this. I for one don't care if the router will automatically change the output limit or anything, I just want affordable internet. Web speeds are irrelevant when it comes to money.

  6. Personally, the only way I would pay 350 dollars for this is if it multiplied my current internet speed by a factor of 4.

    1. by the way you cannot multiply your internet speed with any routers unless you get NEW internet also multiply your sentences by 5

    2. Multiply your sentences by a factor of 5 and you'll get credit.

  7. I think it all depends on how good is the wi-fi router are technology is getting better and better. $350 seems very expensive but based on how good the wi-fi router is which we don't know i'm suggesting the starry night and top of the line quality so i say yes $350 for it is ok.

  8. Some pros of having the Starry router is you will not use as much data and it will help tell you when you're reaching your data limit.There really is no con that I can think of.If I had enough money I would maybe buy one because it seems like a good product to have.

  10. It detects a lot of information about your WiFi and keeps you updated with valuable information. However, what would happen if the router overheated and you lost all of your information. I don't think that the price on it is good because people might not trust the device and not buy it due to the cost.

  11. one of the pros is that it is smarter then any other router that is out there and it seems pretty cool to have one. i do not see any cons with with things so i think i would buy this later on in the future. :)

  12. A few pros of the router is that you will be more aware of who is pulling the most bandwidth and who's using up the most data. Say you're going over your monthly bill, you will easily be able to see who's using it all up. A con is that its $350. Most American families will be just fine with their normal $100 router. Another pro would be being able to see how strong your wifi is. If your router is reading 50%, its not very strong and you should move it to more of a central-point of the house.

  13. A pro for this starry wifi router is it is portable so it doesn't need to stay in one spot. A con is that it is very expensive and not much different from the ones we have today. I would pay the $350 for this because I wouldn't use as much data and it will tell me if I reach the data limit so I wouldn't be spending the extra money. Also,I would have to rethink because I could very easily get a router that is not near the price.

  14. The pros about this router idea is some what good because it tells you the percentage on it so you wont over charge it and mess the whole thing up and to make sure you don't over heat it. The cons about it is the price on it should be less than $350 because its not even that great, i would rather have cheap affordable internet than high speed expensive internet.

  15. I think this is a really good idea for some people who need this. A pro for this new router is you will save some money from your data in stead of going over paying extra you'll see how much you've reached on that. A con for me is how expensive it is but i do understand the cost of this new invention from what it does. Me personally I don't need nor wouldn't want this but for the people who do it will be very uesful.

  16. some pros about owning the starry router is you could see how much internet everybody connected to your router is using. Another pro is you could see how much percentage your router is on which is how good your router is providing internet for you. Some cons are its not cheap, and what if it doesn't work as well as it seems and you purchase it for $350. One other con is your would be wasting all that money if it doesn't work the way its shown that it works. For me to buy one it would have to depend on how good the internet is going to be, like how strong the connection will be.. It would have to be very strong at all times for me to purchase it for that price.

  17. I think that it is expensive to buy but also it seem like a good idea because you get faster inter-net and you can see on the touch screen if the WI-if is working or not.Also its new technology so we might knot know if it would work or not. I probably might buy it.

  18. Yes I think that it will be cool but, the price is a little high. Probably the highest I will go for a router is $275. A pro is that is that it is portable unlike some routers that have to stay in one specific area.

  19. I would say that its a great product but I wouldn't spend my money on it. The pros of it is that who's using the most data. The cons is that maybe in the future I'll think about buying it.
