The only slight problem with this is that there are no routers made in the USA.

Well, you can run your own router on your own hardware but other than that, agreed.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 12 points 12 hours ago

Is that hardware also made in the US ><

[–] locahosr443@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

But where is that hardware made

[–] Tiger_Man_@szmer.info 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

get iron from local mine and go make some relays

But where were those tools made?

All it needs is a bribe from Cisco, and it's no problem anymore. Probably.

New business venture: sell computers that totally aren't routers, pinky promise, but just randomly happen to run OpenWrt perfectly and have all the needed hardware.
