And looks like netgear is off my list of trustworthiness. Used them for 20 years. Best get looking for a new one.

Mikrotik just released a new overkill router with wifi7 and 2.5G Ethernet. Might pick one of those up in order to avoid the inevitable fuckery for the next few years.

You can build your own router fyi

I have an apology to make. I did a knee jerk reaction. I already have an ASUs running. I was using netgear 30 years ago then switched to ASUs 20 years ago…. Been replacing it since. Brain fart yesterday. I have a netgear in the cupboard that the isp sent me. Getting flung.

It's french for "she sucks".

Joking aside, I only get ASUS for my residential needs, and Ubiquiti for commercial use.
