    An image titled “who would win?”

    On the left side is an image of an Asus RT-AC5300 Tri-Band Wireless Gigabit Router, a square, black router with a red line around the side near the upper edge, and 8 antennas coming up from the bottom. The text beneath the image reads “A $350 router with scary spikes”

    On the right side is a blue Cat6 ethernet cable. The text beneath this image reads “A $3 snakey boi”
