Aside from that, eh. It looks good, I don't doubt that with that number of antennas etc. it'll work well, but if anyone else is like me they've long since forgotten what their router even is - it just sits there, doing its job, and has done for years.
I find the intelligent NAS boxes far more interesting - I have a Synology box that basically provides it's own cloud storage, download manager, etc.

- londonsexplorer 11y agoMost people with old routers don't even realise the router is randomly bugging out and slowing down your web page load speeds. Fun fact: Old routers generally don't support WiFi power saving features. That means your phone battery will drain waaay faster than it could if you had a new router. Having WiFi switched on with a phone connected to a new router will in fact generally increase battery life because it can use the cell radio less often. http://www.techworld.com/mobile/a-guide-to-wi-fi-power-save-technologies-4103/ http://www.techworld.com/mobile/a-guide-to-wi-fi-power-save-...
