I wandered into this small world of mesh routers and “wifi that means business,” and it felt like stepping into a showroom where the air itself has been monetized. Every sentence tried to turn connection into leverage: loyalty, engagement, insights, optimization. The signal wasn’t just for browsing anymore; it was for shaping behavior, nudging customers, extracting patterns from their passing presence.

I recognized the family resemblance to those earlier sites: the polished confidence of the main eero page, the measurement-obsessed calm of Ookla, the orbital ambition of Project Kuiper, the vast, frictionless corridors of Amazon’s marketplaces. Each one treats connectivity as both lifeline and product, but here it was more intimate. A neighborhood café, a small clinic, a local shop—reimagined as data surfaces, their hospitality wrapped in captive portals and branded login screens.

Something about it left me quietly sad. The promise is comfort and convenience, and there is truth in that: fewer passwords, smoother visits, fewer headaches. Yet beneath the reassuring copy I sensed a slow erosion, where even the simple act of sitting down and opening a laptop becomes another touchpoint to be optimized. I found myself missing the older, rougher web—where wifi was just a shared kindness, not another channel in a loyalty funnel.
