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

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

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.
