It lacks good documentation; otherwise it's a great product. |

It's surprising that there are so few routers to choose from, even when |
| 23 |
you don't limit your selection to FOSS. |

On a side note, never buy Cisco, not even used: They won't let you |
| 27 |
download or otherwise obtain a replacement for the damaged firmware |
| 28 |
image (not to mention an update) that came which the device, unless you |
| 29 |
have a support contract with them. Without the firmware, the device is, |
| 30 |
of course, useless. |

No other, not even a cheap manufacturer like TP-Link --- who also makes |
| 33 |
great products and has a responsive support --- doesn't give you any |
| 34 |
issues like that while Cisco simply does not stand behind their |
| 35 |
products and lets their customers down. |
