Netgear is utter shit.

Yet another time finding out the high end WiFi device I paid $100 for doesn’t support something basic. Fucking miracast.

I have a Netgear router that is an absolute rockstar.

The original firmware was slow and horribly buggy, but I quickly re-flashed it with https://www.OpenWrt.org

Which isn't to say OpenWRT never screws up, but its #FOSS and straight-up #linux so I can always fix a broken service myself, or use an alternative package.

Proprietary firmware you're just SOL without an enterprise grade support contract...

Yep. I checked. Heard nothing but good about OpenWRT. Unfortunately, that model was a black hole that wasn’t supported. I wanted to try that so bad.

Just my luck. 🤣

It’s a good thought though. I was working from home and was ready to try anything.
