Having government-locked software of any sort is not freedom.
It's only the radio that has to be locked. Why do you need the freedom to reprogram the radio (not talking about the router)?
The main reason is "because I want to".

And the same problem that Windows PCs have had for two decades now. The hardware is effectively equivalent; it's now a matter of trying to "add" value with shitware. This is especially true of Windows laptops nowadays; you're pretty much relegated to 1366x768 screens, shitty dual-core or hyperthreaded single-core processors, maybe 4GB of RAM, and Intel graphics at best. Anything better is still at the prices they wer…
> hyperthreaded single-core processors I don't think Intel has marketed a single core processor since the Core 2 era. You may want to look at Windows laptops again: it's now possible to buy a 1920x1080 13.3", 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD for $600 without any bloatware. It does have a weak dual-core hyperthreaded processor, but this allows it to omit fans.

Specifically: http://ark.intel.com/products/74390/Intel-Celeron-Processor-... (a "hyperthreaded single-core processor", as I was describing) or even http://ark.intel.com/products/58667/Intel-Celeron-Processor-..., which is single-core and not even hyperthreaded. These are being marketed unironically under some "Experience Brilliant PC Performance" marketing blurb.

And I have a garden that grows unicorns on a vine. Got a link to this mythical creature?

In this case the radio is not the computer. The fair balance here is to lockdown the radio, but not the chips that run the software that uses it.
Any answer to that also justifies my desire to be free to reprogram my radio.

A noob question: what does MASQ refer to? Also, do you have any suggestions for a motherboard + minipcie combo? I'd like to get off of our DSL router soon-ly.
MASQ refers to IP Masquerading or Network Address Translation (NAT)
