And don’t even get me started on the CPU and RAM configuration inside of these boxes (SMH).ģ. Hardware configuration – I would much rather prefer to have a separate “dumb” AP behind a proper router firewall/router, than a all-in-one device, that can’t do one of these things right, leave alone all of them at once. Security – unpatched vulnerabilities, UPnP enabled by default, inability to separate guest and LAN clients and so on.Ģ. There are few things in particular I hate about “consumer grade” routers:ġ. But you are here, because you are not like “most people”, when it comes to your home network, right? In most cases, people don’t bother to replace this router, because it drives up the cost and network configuration complexity. It is “certified” for the ISP network and gives you wired and wireless connectivity for all devices in your home. More often than not your internet service provider, besides the Internet service, will usually provide you with a router too. Recently I had to move to another city, to carry out few long-term on-site projects (not only IT related), and found myself in a need of a good home router, that will be compatible with OPNSense or at least OpenWRT.
