<br />[[File:inhand.png|frameless|130px|left]]Meteobridge kann mit einer Vielzahl von Miniatur-Routern von TP-LINK, einem von D-Link und einem von ASUS genutzt werden, oder man kann eine Meteobridge PRO mit dediziert dafür entworfener Hardware einsetzen. Die Geräte von TP-Lin, D-Link und Asus werden durch Aufspielen einer neuen Firmware in eine Meteobridge verwandelt. Durch Aufspielen einer neuen Firmware geht die Herstellergarantie verloren. Das heisst, wenn das Gerät danach nicht mehr funktioniert, kann man sich nicht mehr an den Hersteller weden. smartbedded UG, der Hersteller der Meteobridge-Software, übernimmt ebenfalls keine Herstellergewährleistung. Da die Router sehr günstig sind, ist das finanzielle Risiko, ein Gerät durch das Aufspielen der neuen Firmware unbrauchbar zu machen, eher gering. Trotzdem sollte man sich bewusst sein, dass man dieses Risiko alleine trägt. Wer sich damit nicht anfreunden kann, dem seien die Meteobridge-Reseller ans Herz gelegt, die fertige Meteobridge Lösungen inklusive SW-Lizenz schlüsselfertig anbieten.
