Support - what support

There have definitely been security holes in commercial home network gear.

So how good is the support? Anyone ever had an email to say they need to update their home router?

It's always good to check if an opensource project is alive in making decisions but if it is, security normally gets attention. Commercial support often only lasts so long, often not long on home kit.
