#12> In the best of all possible worlds, every router on the Internet would be running software that has the latest changes to minimize latency, usually fq_codel or CAKE. Unfortunately, not everyone can update as often as they would like, and router manufacturers are often years behind on rewriting their proprietary operating systems to include the newest fixes. Some are even back at PIE, a much older predecessor to CAKE.
how does someone justify moving from PIE to CAKE

#13Our only local fiber ISP (Quantum Fiber, recently acquired by CenturyLink) just rolled new WiFi 7 routers to their entire subscriber base. However, I've noticed that these routers often just shut down when too many devices are connected to them, even though we have an extender. The router will get confused, and reboot, and then you'd have a few minutes of downtime while your computer tries to figure out what's going…
Can you get third party routers?
Yes but it's just frustrating because in theory these APs are great—WiFi 7, 6GHZ mesh backhaul, 3x 4x4 MU-MIMO radios. But it feels like there was no QA put into the firmware and it struggles with reliability.
