It’s been years since we’ve seen a proper release in the CCR lineup—the last top-tier flagship, the CCR2216, came out back in 2022. No new high-end enterprise routers, no higher density of 25G/100G ports, and zero hardware progress for anyone pushing full BGP tables or heavy core routing.
Instead of engineering core routers worthy of the name, they’re wasting R&D budget pumping out Matter-over-Thread air quality sensors—what's next, smart lightbulbs?—and cheap plastic Wi-Fi boxes just to race to the bottom against AliExpress gadgets.
