A bunch of juvenile D-Linkuents. Get it? D-Link? Nevermind....

I mean this is pretty standard in all industries regardless of whether it's a software flaw or a physical flaw in any other kind of product. What's the likelihood of a vacuum manufacturer replacing a part in a 15 year old product that had a 1 year warrantee even if it's a safety issue? Sure the delivery and installation is cheaper with software, but the engineering and development isn't, especially if the environment for building it has to be recreated.

I moved to an OPNsense router a couple of years ago and I’ve never looked back. Hell is shitty consumer routers.
