Love that analyst speak:

"because it is a mature consumer business with low margins"
Translation: the technology is outdated and not profitable

(personally, I switched to bridging Airport Extremes and Expresses ...for Macs. With mixed OS environments, Dlink has been very reliable. But now, with Gigabit Actiontec router and FiOS... )

Hey, I'm not knockin you Tomato DD-WRT guys...just most "home users" don't even know what a router does!

What's outdated about it? I'm not some hollywood type that needs flash, yo yo yo, gold chains, or everything to be new. These routers are work horses and do the job, that's all that's necessary for me.

If it works, it works, so what if there's some new chip or fancy LCD panel, bottom line, that doesn't make it work better.
