>But I'm not sure if it's okay to do two internet wires in same appartment. Is it? I really don't want to fuck up our electricity wiring or my brother's setup.

> houses can't have more than one internet wire user.
Well.
This sucks.
>Why not just hookup your router to the existing wireless router?
Again, /tech/ illiterate here - I doubt very much port forwarding will work if I do that with the existing router in the middle (and I'll stay brainlet if I don't experiment with them ports), nor will I get a static ip address to host my personal git server.
Does it mean I have to buy a VPS and set it up as a router of sorts?

Get a git and mail servers of mine, open some ports for trying out peer networks (pure curiosity for altchans, I'm no criminal), setup a firewall to btfo adds, stop to slow down brother's work if I happen to download big files, experiment a bit.

Anything regardin ports I would first try out in a vm network tho. I know it can be dangerous.

Did 0 research and bought a C7 just to try openwrt. Not too bad but it can't handle a 1gbps internet connection out of the box. Quite sad desu

>pfSense running on a FX-8350 with 16GB of RAM with Suricata and ntopng
Works well with my 500/500 connection

any resources on OS independent vectors for pen testing routers?
hardware issues etc?
I'm getting ready to buy a more advanced one but user wrote "it is not secure". Just wanna know what could be the reason besides business.

There was some guys website where he reviewed routers and talked about the best ones to buy for open wrt or whatever foss custom firmware, its not the guy that did a bunch of testing and articles about MIMO.
Anyone know who im talking about? i first saw it linked in a router thread.

They have a nice interface out of the box

Is Linksys better now?

>Is Linksys better now?
The new linksys router where a shitshow on release, linksys just announced they would have open firmware without ever working with the foss community at all. It was a shitshow for a very long time but there is currently a very good set of up to date custom openwrt builds available for them that i have been happy with.

I put dd wrt on my asus ac87u and I don't even know how to correctly set up the PPPOE settings, then I tried setting it as a client (bridge) so I could connect my PC via ethernet to it while it connects wireless to the router, couldn't do it with dd wrt
Help, bros, I've been filtered by a shit ton of savvy tech terms and little info (for GUI setup)
