    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

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

            Why is that if I may ask? I mean, opnsense is indeed more versatile from what I can see.

              Mikrotik is more a router. Opnsense in this, open source, and significantly better at the firewall part. Ad blocking, threat prevention, etc
