I remember seeing a lot of wifi routers using MIPS architecture..

Did they all move onto using Arm these days or is RISC-V gaining traction there too these days?

there is still mips mcus in some products here and there. some router manufacturers have already started using riscv and arm (ofc). i tend to find old mipsel marvell mcus in settops and older cable modems, and really small things.

microchip still has mips based pic32mz as well. i still use this in some automotive design
