If you're willing to fortify your network in terms of security, I highly recommend building yourself a WiFi router or just buying a highly customizable one like MikroTik or alternatives as such. I think its easily the best defense for such cases.

    Totally agree - if you buy the latest TP link (or whateverm model) rather than build your own, you are handing someone else your credentials. Save that old PC and repurpose it as a router

    Any recs for the best choice for buying a home router for someone who doesn't have the knowledge to build or configure one? I'm smart enough to change the admin password and rename the default network/setup a new password, but that's about it. Mine just stopped getting security updates, plus it's a Netgear. I know no one is really trustworthy anymore, but I know some brands are more sketchy than others.

    You've worked on MikroTik? If so, my warmest congratulations, my absolutely favorite piece of technology in my home. 🙇
