Wow, hadn’t read about that. They even sued an ISP just for using Cambium’s
software on their hardware?
That is crazy, just evil corporate lawyers doing their thing I guess.

It leaves something to be desired yes, and I would’ve hoped to see CAKE
included too of course,
but even WireGuard is only available in the latest release candidates with the
redesigned web UI, so I’m not holding my breath.
I still have an EdgeRouter 4 that serves the family farm and one of the 8-port
switches under my desk, if only because I don’t wanna spend money on replacing
them, and they do serve their purpose.
I’ve since moved though, and now live in an area that has FTTH, so I needed
something beefier to handle CAKE on a 750/750 subscription, because obviously
there’s still bloat even on that ;)
One of those Chinese boxes with a N100 in it and OpenWrt on top works wonders :)
