- rekabis 3y agoIf possible, get a router that can be re-flashed with open-source firmware such as DD-WRT or OpenWRT. The firmware from router manufacturers frequently comes with dozens to hundreds of exploits, rarely ever gets updates for any but the most public of those exploits, and the software is frequently EoL’ed long before manufacturing ends in order to effectively wash their hands of supporting the hardware. Unless you are paying a monthly subscription to the manufacturer for firmware updates alongside an associated vulnerability SLA, you aren’t getting timely or comprehensive updates from them.
