    This is a good time to remind everyone to avoid any of the major manufacturers. Get pre-built OPEN boxes and install OpenWRT. You performance and capabilities will beat the shit out of any of the other stuff anyway.

    Sadly, there were a few great foreign-made manufacturers who had great hardware for this. Technically they aren’t “network routers” and just blank hardware, so probably don’t fall into the idiotic language put forth here.

      And open software will probably have the ability to show up as a “correct” router when that day comes.

      I’ve got a GLiNet router with OpenWRT, running adguard on it. Best router experience I’ve ever had. I wonder how quick this ruling takes effect, might be smart to buy another while I can lol

        YUP. I’ve deployed hundreds of these. They make good hardware, their developers and hardware engineers are quick to respond to customers, and they just make a good product. They even share their board designs, because why not?

        Sucks they’re going to be caught in the crossfire here.
