basing the models on a common platform would help too. I assume they generally do this already, but if not... They don't, because they save a few dollars by re-bidding each product. So each company is shipping a random assortment of Broadcom, Marvell, and Qualcomm reference designs, all running incompatible software stacks. |

How... what... c'mon! You're totally right [1], and even within similar model numbers (e.g. the DIR-300 B-series uses Ralink chips, but the DIR-330 uses Broadcom). Yeesh.
Well... I guess I'll just keep on picking devices supported by OpenWRT and not rely on vendor firmware at all. Yuck.
