The Router Built for Your Smart Home. Made in America.
One of the only professional-grade routers designed, assembled, and software-loaded in the United States. No subscription. No cloud. No foreign supply chain. The network foundation we install in every Rivas Technology Group smart home.
The FCC Just Changed the Router Market. Island Is Unaffected.
On March 23, 2026, the FCC banned all new foreign-made consumer routers, and existing foreign routers lose security-update eligibility by March 2027. The Island Router — designed, assembled, and software-loaded in the United States — is one of the only professional-grade routers the ruling doesn’t touch.
Engineered, Not Price-Pointed
Built by PerfTech — 40+ years of carrier and enterprise networking, 65+ US patents, the architecture that helped power the early internet.
- Hardware assembled in Dallas, Texas
- Enclosure manufactured in Arizona
- Firmware written and loaded in-house in the US
- Supply-chain tampering engineered out
No Queue. No Cloud. No Fees.
A packet engine that eliminates queuing — you actually get the speed you pay your ISP for.
- 97% of ISP-rated throughput delivered under load
- Next-generation firewall — every protection on at boot
- $0 subscription, ever
- Full visibility from an app that doesn’t need a networking degree
The Foundation We Spec
When your network runs Ajax cameras, Control4, LUMA, and 50+ devices simultaneously, a $200 retail router isn’t the foundation you want.
- Specified into every Rivas Technology Group smart home
- Ships direct — same day or within 3 business days
- Remote setup and onsite installation available
- Pairs with Ruckus and Alta Labs WiFi
Island Router vs. Island Pro
Both US-manufactured, subscription-free, identical software. The difference is hardware capacity and form factor.

| Price | $499 | $1,499 | $150–400 |
| Max service speed | 1 Gbps | 10 Gbps | 1 Gbps (rarely delivered) |
| Devices supported | 5,000 | 10,000 | ~50–100 practical |
| Throughput under load | 97% | 97% (14M+ pkts/sec) | 29–61% |
| Subscription / cloud | None, ever | None, ever | Often required |

Island Router FAQs
Same US-made software, different capacity. Island Router: 1 Gbps max service, 5,000 devices, desktop form factor — right for homes up to ~4,000 sq ft with normal device counts. Island Pro: 10 Gbps, 10,000 devices, rack-mount, Intel 8-core with 14M+ packets/sec — what we specify for most full Control4 installs with cameras, NVRs, and heavy continuous traffic.
On March 23, 2026, the FCC banned all new foreign-made consumer routers, and existing foreign-made routers lose security-update eligibility by March 2027. The Island Router is US-manufactured — designed, assembled, and software-loaded domestically — and is not affected.
None, ever. No cloud dependency either — management is local, private, and complete out of the box. Every security feature is on from the moment it boots, with nothing to unlock.
If your network carries surveillance cameras, an NVR, Control4, and 50+ devices simultaneously — or you have multi-gig ISP service — yes, the Pro is what we specify. Standard smart home density in a typical home runs perfectly on the standard Island Router.
The Island Router is $499 and the Island Router Pro is $1,499. Both ship direct from our distributor, same day or within three business days. Neither carries a subscription. Remote setup support is available separately at $195 per hour with a one-hour minimum.
Yes. Both models ship direct from our distributor — same day or within three business days — and work out of the box on factory defaults. If you want VLANs, firewall rules, DNS over HTTPS, and device segmentation configured to your network, remote setup support is available at $195 per hour with a one-hour minimum. Full on-site design and installation is available across the South Sound.
Because everything depends on the network. Island delivers 97% of ISP-rated throughput under real load versus 29–61% for consumer routers, runs a best-in-class firewall with zero subscription, and carries no foreign supply-chain risk — the foundation a professional system deserves.
