Okay, so I’ve been hating on the #Verizon #CR1000A router that was tossed in for free with my #fios internet service. It’s really not THAT bad. From a software standpoint, it’s quite feature rich and powerful being primarily powered by #dnsmasq. It probably uses #Linux. It’s lacking in the hardware department having an anemic CPU but it does have a 10Gbps Ethernet port.

Overall, I’ll regrade it from a C- to somewhere between a B+/A-. I think Verizon probably realized they underpowered it because the next generation CR1000B is better. I think they’re giving the A out to lower end customers like myself with only the 300Mbps service.

Nevertheless it can do QoS, VLANs, and more. 👍
