You can keep using your existing router.

    My eero router recently got an update which permanently blocks archive.ph . What a coincidence.

        Yesterday the site and its mirrors redirected to an eero page saying it was blocked because it was “dangerous.” Today it was a more general couldn’t connect page.

          I noticed both yesterday mine is actually working again. I’m in Canada if that makes any difference. But it’s definitely haunting.

          Honestly even ignoring all this for a second, I fucking hate those eero routers. OMFG. They have turned me into a slobbering ragging lunatic on more than one occasion. I just fucking hate routers as a whole, they’ve always been demon devices, but these ones especially can fucking blow up anytime.

            I’m in a US state with a submissive to authority government. As of today it’s still giving me an “unable to connect” page.

              That’s shitty. We are pretty big cucks up here for that sort of stuff too. Our telecommunications companies pretty much run our country, so it’s only a matter of time.
