Yes, the United States Schutzstaffel.

Recent. cAP AC (1yo) and cAP lite (3yo) are still running in my household, and RB4011iGS+RM (3yo) was until about a month ago.

What they say, plus I wouldn’t recommend Mikrotik HW, which I went with based on Reddit recommendations for much the same use case as yours. Pretty clunky to set up, had to debug some idiosyncracies with the help of the forums, their wireless gear is slow, and it all runs hot AF.

Maybe. Who am I to judge?

That was rhetorical.

But since we’re all gathered here… I used to buy a lot of their stuff, and, well, now I don’t because they’ve gone to shit.

WTH do people do with their cables? I haven’t had one fray/fail on me… ever, and I pay zero attention to them.

Charging my laptop with my powerbank I have for my phone is a moment of glory.

Philips used to be a pretty decent brand, it’s gone down big time over the last decade. Ask me how I know.
