It surprises me how many otherwise experienced system administrators consider a home router something you have to buy and get a completly unsuitable plastic throwaway gadget. It’s an internet-connected device, therefore you have to treat like any other server¹. Get a computer, stick a wifi card in it, install your favorite Linux distro, configure the networking (including DNS resolver, DHCP daemon, hostapd, firewall rules, etc.). Keep it updated in whatever way you keep all your other servers updated. Done. Normal consumer routers are bad for the same reason that just about all IoT devices are bad. This will not change unless the incentives involved change; i.e. don’t hold your breath. 1) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18019343 |
