What percentage have done anything beyond the default wifi-router that comes with their provider?
- pwg 9y agoHere on HN likely a much higher percentage than in the general population. In my case, the default wifi-router that came from the provider sits unplugged and idle.
- Spivak 9y agoNo idea but I'll submit myself for counting. I replaced my provider's router with some Unifi gear and am running DHCP/DNS/Storage/Backups/Misc. off a small server running KVM. I would be excited to talk about my lab in an interview.
- arca_vorago 9y agoWho even uses the provided router? Docsis is a horrible spec and basically a perma-backdoor, use your own cable modem if you can manage it with your isp, turn off everything and pass through to your own edge firewall, and keep the WiFi router separate, preferably on a DMZ.
- icebraining 9y agoWho cares if the ISP controls the router? They control my connection to the Internet anyway. I just assume my LAN is untrustworthy, and authenticate & encrypt everything inside it.
