If you have already invested in 'dumb routers' and want to keep them while providing smart services, there are several options. Mira can be used in combination with existing routers. Alternatively, Presciense can integrate with your existing routers by enhancing their firmware, or another option is that we can supply a USB dongle which upgrades functionality.
