Wow, deleting posts now...
Years ago OBi showed that they weren't pro-consumer, they had shifted their business model (or tried) to support 3rd party sellers of solutions and small businesses. They promised, then stopped, updating firmware posts with actual notes describing the actual firmware changes. That's when I basically left the forum.
The device served me for 6 years, but IMO the support has been awful. Were it not for this forum, including long ago banned Ron, I would never have setup the device for my needs properly or kept it working. But that support has been 100% user-provided, 0% OBi-provided. The amount of hours I've had to spent, and the sudden "crap, it's not working again" that I've gone through, had me glad I did not put an OBi into senior relatives' homes that needed reliable service.
It's unfortunate, I suspect the success that OBi has had is dramatically less than what they forecasted in their business plans, but that's their choice. Clearly engineer-driven, not customer-driven.
