    it is first and foremost a

    Hardware issue.

    but also who the fuck wants to have a power hungry PC as the router. old PC, so we can probably count with 80 W at the least

    but also, how the fuck would a PC help with the skill issue?

      It means you don’t know how to make it work. Last I checked, a used N100 all in one PC with dual Ethernet is cheaper than even most brand new consumer routers, and also sips watts.

        largest majority of smarthome shit users don’t know or care how computers work. are you willing to legally ban them from buying these garbage? or what is the solution?

        and then they need to set it up (wtf, they have issues navigating their phones), and get it maintained (updates)
