Today I went to frys to refresh my hardware. I knew that the tp-link archer C5 was "good", so I got one... opened the box... only to find that it was a C5 v2 (only noted on the router itself), which is a complete swap-out from the well supported-by-openwrt atheros mips chipset to a broadcom and totally-unsupported by openwrt *arm* one. https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/archer-c5-c7-wdr7500 If porshe completely swapped out the engine and all the electronics from model year to model year, and switched from diesel to gas, they'd at least somehow, make clear that "stuff had changed under the hood". Somehow, this awful habit of the home router industry has gotta change. While I look forward to benchmarking a "new" product with it's default firmware, it was not my intent to support in any way yet another model change of this sort. To add even more insult to injury... this ostensibly "new" product is running kernel 2.6.36.4 according to their GPL drop. -- Dave T=C3=A4ht Let's go make home routers and wifi faster!
