Perfect time for users to buy something that isn't D-Link then innit.

The article also mentions Cisco briefly, who also suck. Almost as much as Palo Alto

It baffles my mind how people have picked up a cheap knockoff manufacturer and forcibly made it into a major brand... That still produces junk at same 5 dollar knockoff quality level it had from the start.

I'm confused which brands you speak of, Asus used to be very good

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

then what? the brand thats owned by a chinese company, and even designs not just the software but the hardware too according to Chinese interests, tp-link?
or the one that requires online registration to access the setup page (and so to replace the firmware) that is netgear?

the question was what else to buy, because the alternatives I know are not exactly better..

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

ah. I personally use ubiquiti switches and aps. Cisco would be an alternative but licensing can be a bitch for home use.
