The vast majority of SOHO modem/router boxes, especially ones tinkered

are exceptions and reflashing your router with an opensource distro can
definitely help but you might as well assume the entire class of
products is unfit for purpose.

I take it by SOHO you mean Small Office Home Office. Are you saying that there are other routers that are actually much better, although they will be more expensive? That it is possible to buy one that should be safe and secure?

Or have I got that wrong?
