FSF is not to blame here, the real problem is that most hardware today requires blobs to work... -
Knowing the FSF they probably don't endorse any wifi adapters to use with it though...Leave a comment:

Guest repliedI imagine this isn't a serious router for in-home use. I have a similar mini-router (might actually be a GL-AR300M iirc), and use it for when I'm out-of-house and need to share some kind of restricted connection. In the case of the 10/100 LAN; I don't have any reason to use the LAN in my usage.
Generally, I power it via USB, connect to the mini-router over wireless, go to it's wireless config page, connect the mini-router to the restrictive wireless, do whatever is needed for connectivity (usually some kind of portal page), and then connect any other devices I want to the mini-router.
I picked up such a router from some sale for $13 thinking it'd be useless, but it's actually been very useful in a few situations.Leave a comment:

10/100 LAN... if I was going to buy a new router, it would certainly have to be gigabit ethernet and generally would have to be beefier than that in just about every way. That's mickey mouse, and a lot of money for it.
"$64... but it can go up if... software upgrade before shipping" <--- I'm torn between laughter, anger and pity.
I am sorry, but such a noble certification (I mean that sincerely) does not make that a good purchase.Leave a comment:
