Really? I didn't expect to find a "consumer device roundup" article (along with sidebar ads and referral tags for the products being reviewed) to rate so highly on HN, even if the reviewer is Jeff Atwood. I doubt that flashing custom firmware on a router or QoS settings are a new concept to anyone on here. All I'm gaining by reading the article is some knowledge on some consumer electronics that will probably no longer be valid in a couple weeks, which IMO is not HN-material. These types of articles are best served by Google results when I'm actually looking for a new router, not on my HN feed. What's next, "how to build a computer?"
