schoondoggy 894 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Did anyone get in the SOAP KickStarter? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/soaprouter/soap-first-smart-router-w-touch-display-powered-by?ref=nav_search Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 434 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Ok, that's odd. I backed an indiegogo SOAP router. Link below. http://igg.me/at/soap-future/x/7987378 Link to post Share on other sites
navyanimals1489090436 0 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I also participated in the indigogo campaign and didn't receive the product yet. Are you doing anything about it? Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 434 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 They have not shipped anything. They changed the whole thing and will not ship a touch router/controller now but they have partnered with a router manufacturer, microtic, and will ship all backers a good router. When the router is ready to ship they are supposed to give us a chance to request a refund. I backed this just because it looked interesting. They are now going forward with a software play. I'll see what the microtic router can do but probably just get a refund. Link to post Share on other sites
kylejwx 28 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Check out this blog post. http://www.soapapp.us/#!Soap-Press-Release-12815/cixn/F0DDD57C-0BBA-4DD0-BF0F-12153363BBAD Short version, the founder had drug problems and filed bankruptcy. The blog post states that he has recovered from his addiction and, as mentioned above, is now focusing on a software product. I don't absolutely need a new router, but if a good deal came up I would get one. It is especially interesting with the home automation pieces built in. Looks like the indiegogo site below is the most recent iteration. The fundraising closed on February 19, 2015. One of the options did include a custom router. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/control-your-home-network-devices-from-your-phone Link to post Share on other sites
