        @geerlingguy Exactly my thought when I heard about this silliness.

          @geerlingguy a silly question I sometimes ask Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, thinking of moving to the land of the free or as some call it Canada?

              @geerlingguy as a guy who's been building his own routers professionally for decades now, this is great advice. Also its really quite easy (and always has been with the right knowledge).
              Just PLEASE don't run additional software on your routers. Run them on a device *behind* the router. You'll thank me eventually.

                @geerlingguy The "Forbidden Router" from Level1 techs. Thanks Jeff, I agree 100%!

                    @geerlingguy hmm, one of the reasons wifi chipset vendors (for example to provide #OpenWrt support) more and more grown to refuse not just source code but also hardware/programming specifications because of a blind reference to the #FCC not allowing it. It’s understood that with documentation *anyone* can then modify it to use frequencies or modulations not permitted by the #FCC

                    This is now a completely useless argument, if the FCC doesn’t approve routers anyway, so I’ll say, let them release the full specs! It would actually benefit the router ecosystem to bring up everyone to at least the security of OpenWrt…

                      @geerlingguy

                      After thinking of my stash of old routers and hoping I can still get new dev boards... I went and complained to my representative because this is also a stupid rule and congress could overturn it.

                        @geerlingguy Or snag yourself a Dell VEP aftermarket like I did this week for OPNsense development.
