When I add new fingerprints I try to use the category "broadband router"
only if the device connects directly to the broadband service; i.e., it
speaks ADSL or has a cable jack in back. A lot of devices sold as
broadband routers are really just ordinary router/NAT devices that still
need to plug in to one of the aforementioned devices; for those I use
"router". But I am sure a lot of older prints don't follow this rule
strictly.
