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.
Yep, mostly my focus is not in state backed actors but script kiddies with limited understanding. If someone sees a WEP network down the road and my network with up to date encryption, no SSID broadcast, MAC white listing, and various other options to prevent external connections it makes the WEP network easier and a much better option.
If we are running from a bear I don’t need to be faster than a bear, just faster than other people with me, lol.
