Agreed. The router I mentioned sits between my ISP supplied router - in Modem Only mode - and my network.On 04/08/17 08:17, Richard Brown wrote:Hi Having some issues with my modem and I think it needs replacing. Any recommendations please?Any old piece of crap you can pick up second hand/free if possible - just keep it in dumb "modem" mode, turn off all routing and wifi functions and regard it as the enemy. Put your own proper gateway/router/firewall (something like a pfsense, mini linux box or any other free/open source solution you like the look of) firmly in between it and the rest of your network. You can't trust your ISP! Between crappy insecure firmware, TR-069 remote access to your equipment, traffic snooping, data logging and the litany of other crap we've come to expect from them as standard ISPs deserve to be treated with intense suspicion if not outright hostility.
