Why is it my problem?
Because when manufacturers see that they can get away with this shit, they will all start doing it, and then you can stick up your research because there will be nothing else.

also, in my area most people either use the ISP router, or buy the cheapest ones which is around 50-75 eur which there are plenty, and they are already complaining that it’s too expensive
cheapest n100 I see here is 100 eur: www.amazon.fr/intel-n100/s?k=intel+n100
