The router may have log files pertinent to the investigation. It may be basic information unless it was setup otherwise but it's more information that can help lead to a conviction (hah) and possibly a slap on the wrists followed by a stern finger wagging.
Pretty sure the router doesn't have persistent memory, so unplugging it wipes anything useful.
Or for that matter, enough on board storage to store more than a few hours of logs at best. Logs generate obscene amounts of text per second.
I can put over 100 HD movies on a drive smaller than my thumbnail, but i get what you're saying.
I don't really have a point, I'm just amazed that storage has advanced this far in my lifetime (80's/90's kid)
Manufacturers for most devices are going cheap out on everything they can, see: cell phone industry and 3.5mm jacks, microSD card slots, etc. More storage ups the cost by quite a bit more than the storage itself actually costs for a new phone (but don't worry, the phone manufacturer offers cloud storage (as a paid service)!
Storage has improved amazingly over a short period of time, there's individual drives with more than 20 terabytes these days
I totally agree with you
Dude! I bought 16TB HDDs for my NAS for less than $300 each. What the hell!? I was paying just over $16 per terabyte!
I'm an old fart from the 1.44MB disc days. I thought burning DVDs was cool. This is just…
I have hundreds of movies and shows. I could watch 8hrs a day for a year and not rewatch anything in my collection. It's amazing. Rejoice in it
The MicroSD card thing really chaps my ass... You're already committing to a sim card slot, it's no effort at all to allow for a dual slot that also accepts a MicroSD card.

God I wish LG stayed in the phone market, fuckin loved my V50; 3.5mm with a nice DAC built in, microSD, fingerprint reader on the back.
I still have it, but there's no updates for it; I've thought about looking into something comparable to grapheneOS but didn't find anything for LG phones newer than the v40
