Aren't wifi and a mobile app essential for their target market? The impression I get from this article, and from going and taking a look at the Kickstarter campaign, is that a big part of the audience is supposed to be people who don't know very much about computers and networking. A lot of these people have a home network that is entirely wifi, running off the wifi router built into their ISP provided cable modem.



If I added it up right, more than half of the backers selected a version without wifi. And are there really devices around that only provide WLAN and don't have Ethernet ports?


The mobile app could easily just discover the local server and then throw a webview of the admin website.
