I didn't even mention how it was so slow that it barely manages to run its own web interface. Click on something, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Dial-up internet is faster...

There's been a few times I've considered doing that kind of thing, however some ISPs make it nearly impossible to run anything but their own router (they have their approved list). I'm not sure if mine does that. The other issue is trying to find something that actually is better, because lots of review are complete junk. Some while ago my ISP offered me a free upgrade router. It was a complete disaster. The 5 GHz WiFi was dead in the water, the 2 GHz WiFi failed often. Sick of arguing with online support, I took it back to their shopfront and had it swapped. The newer replacement 5 GHz worked, but it was still always disconnecting things, wanting you to log in to continue. They expected me to accept that I'd have to continually reconnect to the network instead of it just working, they wouldn't accept that I didn't accept that, nor that various devices have no interface for you to do that with. They couldn't accept that my old router didn't have that problem. Morons! So the upgrade sits unplugged on the shelf. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.99.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 14:19:20 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
