There's never been a better time to build your own router—a practice which the FCC will hopefully not *also* ban for US #homelab consumers :)
Knowing how to build your own router for your homelab is going to be a useful skill, until this FCC ruling is reversed:https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-updat...
@geerlingguy hmm, one of the reasons wifi chipset vendors (for example to provide #OpenWrt support) more and more grown to refuse not just source code but also hardware/programming specifications because of a blind reference to the #FCC not allowing it. It’s understood that with documentation *anyone* can then modify it to use frequencies or modulations not permitted by the #FCC
This is now a completely useless argument, if the FCC doesn’t approve routers anyway, so I’ll say, let them release the full specs! It would actually benefit the router ecosystem to bring up everyone to at least the security of OpenWrt…
