 |
Every time I reconfigure my network, and recognize that some advanced feature is only available because of the brilliance and hard work being done by this group/community I toss a few more bucks toward it through paypal. I enjoy supporting this far greater than box store brands. I should've just waited until AX devices were supported before "upgrading"... It's incredibly frustrating to know a device is capable, while also knowing exactly how boned I am when even the SSH capabilities are gimped. I haven't dealt with a non-DD-WRT router in so long that I forgot what it was like...and here I am...contemplating returning it to the store.
That's all I have to say really. Love the work y'all are doing. |

If you do return it, get an Atheros/Qualcomm IPQ (ARM) device like the R7800.  And/or...instead of generically donating via Paypal, you could donate an RT-AX58U to try getting support, but I'm not sure of the future status of BCM AX device support.
