   that is old and slow.

   that could be for any of a variety of reasons.

     More than 20,000 Linksys wireless routers are regularly leaking full   
     historic records of every device that has ever connected to them,   
     including devices' unique identifiers, names, and the operating   
     systems they use. The data can be used by snoops or hackers in   
     either targeted or opportunistic attacks.   
      
   it's best to run an alternate firmware, such as dd-wrt, which can do a   
   lot more but it also makes it not as easy to set up and manage.

   ubiquiti is *very* good and *very* reliable, just not as easy to set up   
   as typical consumer products.   
      
   amplifi is more consumer oriented than their standard fare and also   
   works well.

   asus also has alternate firmwares, one of which is basically stock asus   
   with bug fixes and some feature tweaks (merlin).   
      
   synology's ui is not the usual web ui, which is much easier to set up   
   and works quite well. it's linux underneath, and can be tweaked if   
   desired.
