Shield Edge costs less over three years than an eero with the subscription its filtering needs — and there's nothing to renew in year four. See the maths
“If WOMBATS ceased to exist tomorrow, your Shield would keep working. Most products in this category cannot make that claim.”
The kids are watching something on the lounge-room TV, you're on the laptop in the kitchen, and the household media library, old films, family videos, the music collection, is on a folder on Shield. No streaming subscription decides what you're allowed to play tonight. No vendor cloud sees what your household watches. The TV just shows it.
Everything in Shield Core
Edge starts where Core leaves off, quiet network-wide protection for every device, with SafeSearch, parental controls, per-device pause and internet schedules, and a local dashboard that doesn't require any account anywhere. See Shield Core for the full protection list.
What Shield Edge adds
Per-device rules: SafeSearch, apps & schedules
Different rules for each person. SafeSearch per device, app blocking per device, and school-night app schedules — the kids' devices locked down, yours untouched.
Travel Wi-Fi — wired uplink
Plug Edge into the accommodation's router and your own filtered Wi-Fi appears — same rules as home. Joining hotel Wi-Fi without a cable is Shield Vault.
SMB file sharing across the household
A simple network share that any laptop, phone or TV on your network can reach. Documents, photos, projects, kept on the property.
Jellyfin direct play & direct stream
Stream your own media library to compatible devices without an account, without a cloud catalog, and without transcoding overhead.
DLNA for compatible TVs and players
If your TV speaks DLNA, it sees your library on the network, no apps to install, no logins to keep alive.
Local media library
Organise your media on Shield itself. The library is yours; the index is yours; the playback is yours.
Jellyfin on Shield runs in direct play / direct stream mode only, no transcoding. Very high bitrate 4K media may reduce stream counts. See the FAQ for capacity guidance.
“It does not inspect your traffic to sell you to anyone. It does not need to.”
When you outgrow Edge
Edge is the right Shield for households that don't need encrypted backups or travel Wi‑Fi that can join hotel wireless without a cable. If you also want Mac Time Machine backups onto encrypted local storage, or cable-free travel Wi‑Fi, Shield Vault is the next step.
