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!
O hope you have a good understanding of network security if you are forwarding ports like that.
It is like having doors on your house that are always open if the thieves only bother to check.
There should be no need to forward ports from the outside when things are done right.
