"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."

"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
