The idea of a completely read-only router is really interesting. I used to buy hardware that would only work with open firmware -- I used to love to constantly update and mess with DD-WRT. But in more recent years I've just started buying high-performing hardware and skipping the customization beyond SSID and passwords. With faster connections, UPNP, and decent default QoS policies I pretty much never have to configure my access points or routers anymore. I'm pretty sure the average consumer has no desire to configure anything.
