Yeah, this is exactly it. They used to produce enterprise-ish level hardware and at a reasonable price. Their devices, in my experience, were pretty rock solid.

Setup took a little bit more work than the consumer (edited) offerings, but then you were done. They just ran. They could handle more packets, at least at the time, than the majority of consumer hardware. They've now shifted to targeting consumers and their new stuff doesn't even have the basic features of other consumer hardware. Want DDNS? Something found in every other consumer router I've used. Nope. Want an admin console to configure or update without your smartphone (or when your wifi is down again)? Nope. Want to set a static IP for a device? Ok, but we restart the router each time you set one. Want your network to be bigger than /24? Nope. You can checkout their forums and see how long they've been aware consumers want these things and they've delivered on so little.
