The Norton Core is  exraordinary featured based  router on the market of twenty first century.
Still, Symantec is "a widely known security brand in the consumer space, and they're using Qualcomm's latest radios to ensure the device is as current as they
can make it,"noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.

The Norton Core "anticipates mesh networking in the home to provide full coverage," he told , although it has not yet been implemented.

For a first-time product, "this shows an impressive amount of thought," Enderle remarked. "The only limitation, prior to testing, is that the mesh capability
won't be enabled instantly. Also, Symantec isn't known as a router vendor."  Norton by Symantec on Tuesday announced the Norton Core secure router for smart
devices in the connected home at CES  A Good First Effort


The router combines an omnidirectional antenna design with advanced beam forming to "ensure your devices get stellar WiFi anywhere in your home," Symantec's Karim said.

It can pause the home network as required, and can identify which devices can and can not be paused, he said. IoT devices such as alarm systems, door locks, IP cameras, healthcare devices and appliances won't be paused.

Consumers can preorder the Norton Core now; it will begin shipping in the United States this summer.

The router is priced at US$200, which includes a one-year complimentary subscription to Norton Core Security Plus. The subscription will cost $10 a year after that.  A Good First Effort

The Norton Core is not the first such router on the market; F-Secure, for example, has been shipping a router for the connected home for some time.

Still, Symantec is "a widely known security brand in the consumer space, and they're using Qualcomm's latest radios to ensure the device is as current as they can make it,"noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.
