Why not?

I'm not sure what you expected from the cheapest N router available on amazon.
I have that model and it worked fine for years until i found myself having to reboot it monthly and then weekly and later daily, I just said fuck it and got a tp-link AC router and it hasn't given me issues yet.

god i want to stick my probe on that dirty slut's test points

Their cheapest router are outdated now. If you check the Xiaomi router 4a gigabit edition one they have a better hardware and has the same price range. The best part is they support OpenWRT.

>user trying to bring his tech back from the dead by replacing components

If that router were alive it would give you a hug

i came here to say dont be a disgusting fucking nigger and maybe all your shit wont break constantly

The worst part is having to flash a hobbyist autism firmware to make them semi-usable and even then you don't know what half of the options are if you don't have 10 years of experience in networking

I have this 10 year old piece of junk and it still works, it even runs openwrt. You just have a bad luck or shit at taking care of things, user.

I have a 10Gbe Switch and the EAP660HD from them and they are pretty dope.

Mine has been fine for 6 years.

That's why you go with OpenWRT.

I was talking about OpenWRT

Because they will inevitably tempt you into cracking them open and prodding them with multimeter leads without any idea what you're doing, at least if OP's pic is to be believed.

if you don't know what the options do don't use them
do you always completionist every menu in a new car's entertainment system before you drive it off the lot?

>tempt you into cracking them open
fucking seducing routers I hate them packet demons

this one doesnt have its plastic case on
>muh big industry meter
this one does have its plastic case on

I exclusively recommend TP-Link routers since Netgear's consumer line went to shit in the early 11ac era.

TP-Link as a cheap home router is not recommended as of now because of low Flash Memory. For SOHO routers you can just use the Mikrotik Router or build a x86 PC and run pfsense or opnsense.
Just don't use any options if you are not sure about it.

Mine is great but I didn't buy the lowest end shit like you did I guess. Seethe.

i mean who cares, you can just put daily reboots at 4:30am as /etc/crontab job. minor inconvenience is worth it for having openwrt on it than getting any "modern" locked down router
