Really don't know what they were thinking with this.

I'm not sure the world needed any consumer wifi router

FTFY

@scottalanmiller I'd really have thought that this company would have cooler stuff to do than this. I'm kinda disappointed that they chose to use their resources for this.

scottalanmiller

@MattSpeller what should they be making instead?

MattSpeller

@scottalanmiller something innovative? I can't think of anything right now but I'll drink my coffee and ponder.

Very few things should not be VMs these days.

@johnhooks I'm still unsatisfied. Needs MOAR like this! (mmmm yagi). This product is almost 100% guaranteed to get you a visit by your local (hopefully) friendly police force. Use with caution.
