I have 12 year old RouterBoards in the air, just humming along. ;-)

Usually the wireless isn’t working, but I have one today that is fully functional as far as wireless and passing data. Once you SSH in, a few commands work, but many just hang. Like you can ls but not cd, cat, or vi. It doesn’t seem to be infected, more like corrupted firmware in NVRAM or something, I wonder if the NVRAM is starting to fail in these radios. I don’t think there’s enough working to reflash the firmware. I’ve just been replacing radios when this happens, but there seems to be a trend, and I’m wondering if this is a known thing. FYI, the UBNT malware tool connects via SSH and then goes off into checking and never reports anything, just hangs like the CLI commands. -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team. </blockquote>
