Confirmation that if you're going to use an inexpensive router, buy one that can run open software and run that instead. I understand this doesn't solve the broadest use case, but you can at least protect yourself.
- PaulKeeble 2y agoRun open source software on your router, don't buy one that doesn't support it. Every single company abandons support for the router in a few years at which point your destined to become part of a botnet or worse. Instead get an open source firmware and keep it up to date and not only will you have more features but it will also get security patches. Open source firmware routers have better features and support.

- tyingq 2y agoSure...I mention "inexpensive", because "expensive" and "open" aren't immune to zero days, but both have options to mitigate that via either paid or self-support. Where the inexpensive ones often have no real options in that situation.
