“If WOMBATS ceased to exist tomorrow, your Shield would keep working. Most products in this category cannot make that claim.”
You plug it in behind your modem and run a 15-minute browser-based setup. From that point, every phone, laptop, TV and smart speaker on your network goes through Shield. Ads stop appearing on cheap apps. Trackers stop following the kids around the web. Phishing domains never resolve. You go back to using your network and forget Shield is there.

When you outgrow Core
Core focuses on protection and control. If you also want a private library, household media, encrypted backups or a travel Wi‑Fi network, the upgrade path is the same hardware family, just a different model.
