- slenk 6y agoYour definition makes routers sound pretty smart, not dumb? Cheap, yes.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 6y agoGateway, not router. I personally do very few and simple things on the gateway. Way less than what an average default-configured router running OpenWRT does.
- slenk 6y agoAh, yeah my bad.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 6y agoNo worries. Usually they are the same. The terms are probably interchangeable. The point I was trying to make is that the gateway does not necessarily have to be a pre-packaged router with a difficult-to-manage, complex configuration. It can be the computer over which the user feels she has the most control.
- sergeykish 6y agoSmart is Linux machine I use as router. It is uniquely suited to run services without interruption, like file share, messengers, torrent, http server, etc. Smartphone and laptops are mobile devices with spotty connection, powered by battery. Instead we've got Cloud.
