Not only is it not open source... it's been physcially neutered. The new V5 hardware has HALF the RAM and memory.
I think Linksys enjoyed the boost they got from hobbyist sells. Then Cisco bought them and those hobbyists began encroaching on higher level hardware. Just MHO.
We may soon have WRTs that can run multiple SSIDs with different levels of encryptions and access restrictions on each. Heck, if we are lucky, we might even see a mix of AP and client modes on each of those SSID. That's one capable little box...
I think they are planning on keeping a Linux version so as not to completely chastise the hobbyists. |
