Another brand i vouch for is AVM, their routers are all over Germany and they're reliable workhorses for years...

Maybe, just maybe, someone should start a list with vendors that put out shitty software on their devices, never deliver firmware updates and have stupid exploits...

You might as well just list every vendor, the exceptions are rare and don't always last.

I don't disagree, but perhaps it would be better to list the vendors that push bad software and whose hardware doesn't let you run a better firmware. After all, if the hardware is decent and can run OpenWRT or such, who cares how bad the stock firmware is?
