It's not fear of backdoors that make me run a specific router.
If I want free wifi access around the country (via BT Openzone) then I need to run BT's router (which includes the magic to run a separate managed public Wifi access point via BT Fon).
It's annoying, but I can live with it (especially when they get around to upgrading my cabinet to FTTC and I get 60Mbps/20Mbps).
- icebraining 13y agoI'm in the same situation, but my FON router sits behind my main router and isolated from my internal network. It still shares Internet access just fine :)
- ibmthrowaway218 13y agoAre you on Infinity (FTTC)? I've heard various stories about people on FTTC getting slower speeds with anything other then the latest Homehub.
- icebraining 13y agoOh, I'm not actually in the UK at all, I just meant I also need to keep a FON router connected. In that case, I assume the best option would be to put a decent router behind the Homehub (configuring the latter in bridge mode or similar) and then treating all traffic beyond the inner router as public.
