No VLANs, no real firewall rules beyond &ldquo;allow everything out, block everything in&rdquo;, a web interface that reboots the whole box to change a DNS entry, and firmware that stops receiving updates the day the model falls out of the current catalogue. It works fine for a household that just wants Netflix and email. It falls over the instant you want a guest network that can&rsquo;t see your NAS, a camera VLAN that can&rsquo;t phone home to the internet, or logging that tells you what actually crossed the WAN link last Tuesday.</p>Tue, 07 Nov 2023 09:00:00 +0000
