Don't worry about what so called 'crypto experts' have to say, just keep writing code like this. If they really insist that you use a real cipher like AES, make sure you use ECB mode as its much faster than CBC or GCM mode. Whatever you do please don't implement a system like SSL which will incur much overhead for little gain, I mean any crypto expert will tell you that all AES keys can eventually be cracked given enough time and hardware. I mean its just a router, what are they going to do? Pair it with Apple's SSL vulnerability and drain your bank accounts? Fat chance that might happen. Yours truly, Lazy Blackhat.
