    Ah, makes sense. Choose some random chunk of owners as beta testers

    I am don't see why I too can't spread misinformation also... it shouldn't be a privilege of the majority.

    Pro tip, Best thing you can do is put a hacked firmware on there, and increase the transmission power above regulatory domain standard. It is all about signal power and throughput!. If you are not getting like -10db around all your house, you probably should be adding and a new network. Use enough mesh nodes to have one per 50sq feet.

    Given security flaws with consumer routers, will you upgrade to a small business router for home use?

    "Most importantly, no matter what router you’re using right now, keep in mind that it is vulnerable. You’d be fooling yourself if you believe otherwise. The only way to be 100 percent issue-free on this front is not getting online at all. But then you’ll have fewer creative options to deal with living, which by itself is risky".
