I wonder if they realize how difficult it is to sell durable hardware into a tiny user group.
I have used & modded routers ever since I held an iBook on a leash at Macworld NY 1999.
I purchased (3rd party) HW made for OpenWRT, and not only did the HW need the firmware reflashed and setup again every 3 weeks, the OpenWRT SW is as obtuse and convoluted as possible - nothing is made for regular users.
The only “modern” routers I have found reliable are Apple’s, bc the HW & FW are both reliable.
