  • Lot of comments but the real answer is that generally router firmware is pretty shitty and price does not equal performance. If you want something good for cheap get a 50-100 dollar (can find even cheaper especially if you don’t have crazy internet speeds) computer (like a raspberry pie clone) stick on open wrt, and get a separate Wi-Fi access point. Will blow past any consumer grade premium router because a lot of them are sold the be “all in one” with the cheapest, low power hardware imaginable and while not universal, software that never updated. Also, Something like openwrt has something called cake sqm which can massively reduce latency as well as constant software updates that fix vulnerabilities.

    They win anyways in the US at least. They borrow from the fed which means that they can take a loan out at a lower rate than they give you and pocket the difference. Then if it was not enough they can resell and repackage loans and let some other sucker deal with it. Annnd if that not enough they can create derivatives on packages of the loans (2008 was example of it blowing up) and sell those. And for icing on the cake if they somehow fuck it up (as they have in the past) they can get bailed out, give themselves bonuses and do it all again
