Howdy,
I think this was a smart move. When I saw the original announcement
for the 6801, I thought it was a bad idea. That kind of CPU with the
support chips it needs is not cost effective. I hope they switch to a
64 bit arm design.
Good day,
Ralph
Howdy,
On the low end, I would say a Banana Pi R1 router is comparable. I
have one and it has problems, but is usable. I have only used it on
slow networks(like 4 mbps down and 1 up. Cnewer chipsets with eight
64 bit cpus should be able to keep up with much faster traffic at low
power.

these driver, no matter how you install. Do you have them for
the 4801? I have an unused 4801 I might try, if you have a pointer to
them. And, I need to find the 4801 after my move.
Good luck,
Ralph
