  • WIth my previous ISP, I swapped the ISP’s router with my OpenWRT’s and everything worked fine. With my current ISP, it appears that it’s not that simple to swap the router altogether. But I’ll be honest, the biggest factors are price and number of routers/switch. As I want 2.5gbps, I’d need a router with at least dual 2.5gbps ports. The WIFI6 offering is also quite nice. And if I can’t swap my ISP router, it would just add another device. In a perfect world, I’d have a single router running openwrt, with wifi6 and couple of 2.5+gbps ports (but unfortunately openwrt doesn’t play nice with most wifi6 routers and these routers can get very expensive) For now, my ISP router does the job and I haven’t had any issue (yet)






  • I’m not well versed in ARP spoofing attack and I’ll dig around, but assuming the attacker gets access to a “public” VM, its only network adapter is linked to the openwrt router that has 3 separated zones (home lan, home automation, dmz). So I don’t think he could have any impact on the lan? No lan traffic is ever going through the openwrt router.
