New Router Purchase

[der.hans]

Am 26. Oct, 2019 schwätzte techlists at phpcoderusa.com so:

moin moin,

I've been waiting for Turris MOX to be available.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/turris-mox-modular-open-source-router

And there's a new big box in pink saying it's available.

https://www.turris.cz/en/mox/overview/

Ah, but only out of Czech Republic.

Be sure to check out their honeypot as a service.


Turris Omnia has been available in the US.

Both run modified versions of OpenWRT.

Nowadays you can get small unit routers that advertise about being DD-WRT
or OpenWRT compatible.

There are also LibreCMC devices from ThinkPenguin.

> That worked.  Based on that I think my router is going bad.

> I had turned off the modem and the router for a maybe an hour or so

> I would like a secure router.  Cox says almost any modern router will be

> available in my neighborhood I see maybe 10 routers.  That is scary!

> Since I have a business account that allows servers I have been using

> I also have set up my WiFi to only accept those devices that I have

> Any toughs on my pending router purchase?
