Slashdot Examines the Question of DIY Routers

A post on Slashdot considers the question of do-it-yourself routers for home users.
The question of trust is key among the contributors, as device firmware such as what’s used by routers is even more “closed” than proprietary software solutions, where you may be able to get some sense of what makes them up. Many of these same arguments apply to business as well, especially those that rely on the firmware bundled with their router that will likely go out of date far before the hardware stops working. This is where solutions like the OpenWRT One routers (see the details here, courtesy of Tom’s Hardware) may come in handy for SMBs.
