A router with a touch interface?

Wall mounting TOH

It would be nice to have a powered TOH that adds an air gap for cooling and a way of mounting to a wall. A "passepartout" that saves the wall from finger grease would be a good addition to the design.

Alternative solution

Not a touch interface, but have you heard about Turris Omnia? OpenSource and OpenHardware, extensible (in theory you could attach touch screen via I2C or SPI) and it should have some Android app for remote control/monitoring. But old Turris had Qt desktop application to do something like that so in theory it shouldn't be hard to port it to Jolla.

Will check it out when I get home.

I have used a desktop linux machine in that way. A good idea. :)

The phone has good router functionality and the Jolla 1 also offers a faster wireless router. 192.168.1.1

Traffic countdown

Just measuring the amount of network packages is not enough. Most mobile connections have limits. ...amounts to be counted down.

Countdown would be useful in the Sailfish OS base system too.

Configurable events - intrusion detection

Let device launch programmable actions on configured events, e.g. intrusion attempts.

Actions could be: emit optic and acoustic warnings, send message (email, sms, xmpp, etc.)

SMS or XMPP too?

Why, sure!

Internal web page

A good thing would be an internal web page for statistics, etc. The router could display this on the phone display but sometimes that display isn't visible from the current surfing location. Settings would be done with the physical hardware to improve security and also to simplify the implementation of the internal web server.

PuzzleIoT Hardware

PuzzlePhone has presented a device that would be a smartphone without a screen, more or less. Normally a puzzlephone would have three parts - brain, heart and spine - but this thingy replaces the spine (the touchscreen) with a unit that holds the brain and spine and gives additional features.

I still hope for a PuzzlePhone with a Sailfish OS Brain. Such a brain could also be useful in a modular router. The OS would be more than adequate for that purpose.
