For ISPs and MSPs
Your customers can live with slower. They cannot live with nothing. smart.router turns whatever lines a site already has into one connection that keeps working, and gives you a single place to run all of them.
Outages are not a failure of your network. They are a fact of every network. What your customer remembers is not whether the fiber cut was your fault. It is whether anything still worked, and whether anyone told them.
A site on its backup line at a third of the speed is a site that is still taking payments, still on the call, still open. The complaint you never get is the one where the internet quietly kept going.
Most "it's down" calls end with somebody power-cycling something. When the switch is automatic and you can see the site from your desk, the visit stops being the first step.
A line failing over raises an alert to you and to whoever the customer nominated. You are calling them, rather than being called.
What you sell
The second line is often already there and doing nothing. This is what turns it from an unused cost into the reason somebody pays you more.
Sell continuity rather than megabits. It is a monthly line item your competitor down the road does not have, and it is the one customers understand immediately, because they have all lived the outage.
The backup does not have to be yours. Satellite, a cellular modem, a neighbour's cable service. You keep the relationship and the management even where you are not the one delivering every line.
A VPN into the customer's LAN, over whichever line is standing, including the one behind carrier NAT where nothing normally reaches in. Nothing is exposed to the internet to make that work.
Speed, loss and latency on every line, continuously, per site. When a customer says last Tuesday was terrible, you can look instead of guessing.
Running a fleet
Every router you have deployed in one console: which are healthy, which are on a backup line, which have not reported. Configuration and updates go out from here, not from a visit.
Failover policy, protection rules and firmware behaviour are managed centrally and roll out to sites. What you fix once is fixed everywhere.
They get an app and a web portal showing their own site and nothing else, with the controls you decide they should have. Fewer calls, and none of them "what is my password".
Fits what is already there
smart.router sits at the edge and handles the connections. Whatever is doing wi-fi behind it carries on doing wi-fi.
Runs on standard MikroTik hardware you can already buy and already stock. No proprietary box, no forklift, and the customer's existing addressing stays as it is.
Getting started
Most providers begin with the handful of customers who call the most, or the ones whose business genuinely stops. That is usually enough to know whether this is worth selling widely.
