Maybe this is too nerdy for this group. I got an OpenWRT ONE router, replaced the old TP-Link one I had. The bad press got to me. The new one is fast, I could not believe how much faster things like downloading files is now.
The worst part was that I had picked out a complicated password with lots of punctuation, and typing that on phones and on-screen keyboards for TVs and game consoles was painful.
Also I pinged Google, and got an IPv6 response for the first time.
Use a password manager! Changes your life when it comes to passwords. Never need to type another one besides to unlock the manager.
Do not reuse the same password, and make sure it’s at least 12-16 unique digits. Most password managers will create them for you.
Yes, all that. The password manager is not going to do anything for one’s Nintendo Switch, however.
I’ve found that complicated passwords plus using WPS for such devices are my most usable compromise.
Works with OpenWRT with some extra steps: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/basic#wps_options
