Hmm indeed we forget that in the end routers are practically computers too !
After reading the article i would say DumaOS seems intriguing !

I don't know that it would work well for most modern competitive games, but that geofencing idea is great. AFAIK, a lot of modern games use some centralized bits or a load balanced system ahead of the servers hosting games, so I can imagine a scenario where you are in a matchmaking lobby (to an approved IP), then are matched to a regional server with an unapproved IP and then simply drop / disconnect. So you wait in queue, get matched, then drop with no explanation in the UI - could be frustrating... On the other hand, for games that have private servers and a server browser (like most older source games or counter strike), it should work well though - seamlessly filter servers based in blocked regions.

Gigabit WAN & LAN?

We need an upgrade on these already, the Asus GT-AXE11000 has both wan and all lan ports at 2.5G but it costs $1000.... Instead I have to use my ISP's supplied POS modem since it has 2.5G ports but the WIFI on it sucks...

As a owner of an XR 500 , I want to be honest and honestly do not recommend it . Instead I strongly recommend you to take either an Edgerouter from Ubiquiti or a modem that mounts OpenWRT as firmware since they have a very effective antibufferbloat

great job Kryzystof.
this is such a great idea i'm surprised (not surprised) it hadn't occurred to anyone before to write a new OS specifically for gaming.
even though the name of the company sounds like some sort of website for the Russian Parliament i'm impressed.
i hope they will put out WiFi 6 (ax) version as that to me would be worth the steep price.
i'm always down to help pay for innovation as an early adopter so let's go! :p
