I’m currently running an OpenWRT fork that is getting old and hasn’t been updated in awhile. I may try to put mainline OpenWRT on it, but also looking for alternatives.
Any replacement probably needs to have external antennas. I use a directional yagi antenna I made for 2.4GHz for better reception. What’s the word for a good deal and feature combo when you’re not a triple-A gamer? Anyone running a Linux that is not OpenWRT and worth checking out?
Honestly, It depends on your threat model. Some basic steps of security your network are more than enough for most people.
Assuring your endpoints are always up to date
Assuring you change the default SSID name and Password
Assuring you disable all features you dont utilize
If you’re worried about the company viewing your data on the router, utilize a device level VPN or set up a router/Box that all traffic goes through before you hit the router (As others have mentioned) with a standalone AP and router/model so you can VPN before any traffic hits the router.
