To the SMB market, ASUS has a bigger, better known name than Vyatta - which outside of here and SW I've never heard of.

I had heard of Vyatta years ago and tested it along side pfSense. I thought pfSense was easier to setup and configure, so I went that route. I liked Vyatta though I basically forgot about it after hearing it went private.

And now Vyatta is part of Brocade.

That is not new. That is what I was referring to when I mentioned it went private.
Things like EdgeMax routers are forked off of one of the last public versions before it went private.

That's a seriously sad state of SMB IT. That's like SMBs knowing Linksys and not Cisco.

Not using DDWRT simply because it's hobbyists would mean not using LINUX many years ago.. and it might not be where it is today if not for its continued use outside the 'expected norm.'
And using it in 1996 would have been crazy. There was clearly a time and their remain Distros that have no place in business.

Those are Belkin now.

Yes they are. They just keep going downhill.

Hey, the WRT54G is a staple of the networking industry. And every freaking revision supports dd-wrt. No complaints on a lot of their stuff. Their more recent Cisco Linksys stuff, as in the past two to three years, all sucked. Otherwise, it was solid.

I think you have a very skewed via of the "networking industry." That's not even prosumer. That's end user stuff from Linksys. The only good part about it was that it was left open and so people with no other access to embedded gear could use it as a hobby platform. It is a staple of the embedded hobby industry. It is in no way even entry class business networking gear.

Every piece of equipment has its place. I never claimed it was a staple of the business networking field, did I?

@ajstringham you stated networking industry. That implies business.

I wouldn't say that's the case, but whatever.

The networking industry = business. That's what that term means. And no, every piece of equipment or every technology does not have a place. Many do but that anything no matter how poor or quirky has a place somewhere is a myth, it's a non-logical statement used to cover for a lack of known use cases.
Look at RAID 2 and RAID 3. Literally no use cases. No purpose for them to exist at all. It's not a "but in this one special case." No use cases.
You could easily build a car that doesn't run. You wouldn't expect it to be "the best car for a few rare people." It doesn't work. It's just not a car that needs to exist.

Industry means business. Just what the word means.
