Hey everyone, I am starting to experiment with some “smart home” ideas I have. Right now the main pain point I have is that my router is very limiting in terms of configuring and managing my network. Even the simplest port forward is a pain with it. I was wondering if you have any recommendations for a router that has a good user experience and allows for an extensive configuration. Preferably with easy mesh integration and a decent GUI.
I was looking into Google Nest but I don’t really know if it’s good.
Thanks!
My friend, port forwarding is a very dangerous game. I’ve been a CyberSecurity architect for 20 years and I still do not use port forwarding. If you do make sure your target endpoint is sitting on a DMZ isolated from your home network. Better yet, use VPN.
