This reminds me of something I have been wondering.

I recently purchased three routers that are compatible with dd-wrt,
because I needed one and there was a cheap lot of three on eBay.
All of them were uselessly slow, and of course way slower than my
OPNSense router. I didn't figure out why they were slow, but I also
didn't really try; I just switched back to the OPNSense router.

It is only in the past two years that I have found normal cheap
proprietary routers to be slow. Has something about networking changed?
Or, next time that I come across such a slow router, how can I figure
out why it is slow, particularly if I can't install free firmware on it?


What I find is branded home network ing device's are very low end. Can't
take more than one YouTube video at time. The other machine's suffer due to
this.
