+    <p>Some Wavelink and JetStream wifi routers have

+    <p>If you consider buying a router, we encourage you to get one

+    software</a>. Any attempts at introducing malicious functionalities in

+    and soon corrected.</p>
+
+    <p>If unfortunately you own a router that runs on
+    proprietary software, don't panic! You may be able to
+    replace its firmware with a free operating system such as <a

+    you can get help from a nearby GNU/Linux user group.</p>
