<div dir="ltr"><div>I used to use a netgear nighthawk router years ago, loaded with dd-wrt/tomato, it was a nice router/firewall. Features weren't great, but worked for my needs at around 80mbps on cox at the time.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm thinking since the Netgear mentioned is a cable modem AND a router, you can't put dd-wrt on it. Cox doesn't like anyone tinkering with modems (and such docsis security). Just check the DD-WRT/Tomato open-source router firmwares for compatibility with anything you're looking at, and then you're not at the mercy of Netgear and their security issues. They have whole lists of supported devices, just find one new enough with cores/memory to suit your needs. If you don't need the newest 802.11AX wireless, get one used cheap on ebay, or if things were open, shop a Goodwill as people throw away old routers all the time that are still quite useful once DD-WRT goes on them.<br></div><div><br></div><div>-mb</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, May 17, 2020 at 9:16 PM Stephen Partington via PLUG-discuss <<a href="mailto:plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org">plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">I have a netgear device that is pretty decent that has tomato on it (I think)</div></div><div id="gmail-m_-3755603551133685160DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
