It uses openwrt. The OS isn't bugged. All underlying hardware is bugged. It's called ring -3, below the bios level. Usually running a minix derivative. What the FCC doesn't like is that the CCP is bugging you instead of the NSA.

Not all wifi 7 routers have 3 bands. I actually bought the better version of this router for the same price off Aliexpress about 10 days ago, and it does have 3 bands, 2.4, 5, and 6.

Thanks, how's the distance? I have a 3500 sqft home but most of it is a loft. I currently have a linksys mesh system that is not working great, wondering if its worth the upgrade.

If buying from AE (or anywhere these days) is there a way to check if your unit is bugged with spyware or anything?

This is last call for the next few years, btw. Same with your pre-2027 cars.

Yes, use the router while transferring Bitcoin. If you have any Bitcoin 7 days later you have a clean router.

I have their AC1200 (https://www.gl-inet.com/en-us/pro...gl-sft1200) travel router for my own research projects - use it as a wifi proxy (broadcasts its own SSID and relays to an existing SSID) as well as cellular tethering - Both work amazingly well.
