      Right?

      Something this old is going to be power inefficient compared to newer stuff, and simply not perform as well.

      I would know, I just booted up a 10 year old consumer router last night, because the current one died. It’ll be OK for a few days until I can get a replacement. Boy, is this thing slow.

        I have a netgear router that isn’t even that old and it doesn’t have gigabit ports.

        even though I was able to throw openwrt on there to mess around with it’s still e-waste
