Hi,
With all the Russian and other attackers installing packet sniffers into router firmware any chance that non-consumer grade hardware is any better in this regard? or is it as simple as paying attention and exercising dues diligence? On one hand a lot of users don't change factory admin:assword, and on another hand the manufacturers leave back doors that we don't know about, yet bad guys somehow do.. Security by obscurity never worked.. Anyway, I even looked at pfsense ready-made hardware from their site, but they have their fair share of complaints as well.
Any straightforward way to distance myself and reduce the vectors?
I am comfortable with installing obscure things on 20-year old hardware, just wanted to get a ready-made 'solution', set and forget kind of stuff.
Right now I have fully functioning and updated ASUS N66U.
TIA
