I'm not sure that's accurate for a wireless router, which is intending to transmit. Consumer routers are almost exclusively wireless routers.

Radios are also not bricked, nor are they sabotaged at all. No one is forced to upgrade and there is no modification of the user agreement here. It is a regulatory requirement to prevent software which is not ours running on our devices, and also improves airMAX system security. These same protections are implemented on other products and by other vendors. <blockquote> From: Robert < nos...@avantwireless.com > Date: July 10, 2017 at 12:51:13 PM PDT To: Ubiquiti Users Group < ubnt_users@wispa.org > Subject: Re: [Ubnt_users] 6.0.6 isn't an upgrade, it's a legal brick Reply-To: Ubiquiti Users Group < ubnt_users@wispa.org > <blockquote> When you can't compete technically, you compete legally...
