#Router: #OpenWrt #Two

Das #OpenWrt-Team plant die zweite Version ihres #freien #Routers. Das Gerät soll die Defizite des ersten Modells beheben, wird aber erheblich teurer.

Es sind nur noch 267 Tage bis Weihnachten. Da kann man schon einmal den Glühwein vorheizen und den Wunschzettel herausholen. Wie wäre es z. B. mit einem neuen #WLAN-Router? Darf es etwas Freies sein? Ende 2025 soll das Modell Zwei des #OpenWrt-Router kommen.

“Switches switch and routers route.” That’s a statement that isn’t as true as it used to be… or at least not without carefully defining context.

It’s time to go old school and stop using the word “switch” in this context. The first switches were hardware-accelerated bridges and have since evolved past bridging. If we switch to “bridges bridge and routers route” we’ll be more correct in our thinking, but we have to think of bridging and routing as functions rather than devices.

These days, most switches can accelerate both bridging and routing (L2 and L3) on their backplanes. Most routers have similar functions and are built on switching chips too. The whole line between switches and routers is becoming a very grey and fuzzy one.

Bridges bridge and routers route, and switches do either or both •very• quickly. Most of the other considerations are about product placement.

Salt Typhoon remains active, hits more #telecom networks via #Cisco #routers

"Attackers primarily targeted internet-exposed Cisco network routers over the past couple months, according to Recorded Future. Tracked as RedMike by the company, the group has attempted to exploit more than 1,000 Cisco routers worldwide — focusing mainly on those running in telecom networks — since early December." cyberscoop.com/salt-typhoon-ch

CyberScoop · Salt Typhoon remains active, hits more telecom networks via Cisco routersBy Matt Kapko

hello good computer networking people, i require a recommendation for a replacement router

we have some flavor of tp-link right now we got in like 2017ish. and it works fine, but it's starting to get old and cantankerous

we are on limited income so the primary concern here is that it's affordable. i have no idea what decent routers cost nowadays. something under $50usd would be great.

i'm really not doing anything particularly interesting with it so i don't need a super complicated one. we have a modem from our ISP, so i don't need any kind of combo deal. only other requirement is that it doesn't die on me right away, i have had enough of electronics perishing within like 3 months for a while lol

Comment on a discord server about #ISP #blocking #reticulum on wired #wan and #lan in #uk

" I have a strange block using my home ISP connection for #Nomad network. Virgin Hub 3.0 is blocking Reticulum data. Enable #DMZ to laptop and it works fine. Disable DMZ again and it still works ! Disable #firewall and it stops working ! Very weird. Connection via phone #hotspot works all the time... Any ideas as to what the problem could be ? "

Security Affairs · Moxa router flaws pose serious risks to industrial environmetsMoxa warns of two flaws in its routers and security appliances that enable privilege escalation and remote command execution.

On December 18, 2024, the Wall Street Journal reported that “U.S. authorities are investigating whether a Chinese company whose popular home-internet routers have been linked to cyberattacks poses a national-security risk and are considering banning the devices.” I learned a few interesting facts beyond the top-line story:

  • “The router-manufacturer TP-Link, established in China, has roughly 65% of the U.S. market for routers for homes and small businesses.” TP-Link’s home and small business marketshare for routers was only 20% in 2019. The Wall Street Journal attributes the jump to an increase in working from home beginning in 2020 and TP-Link’s low prices.
  • “The Justice Department is investigating whether the price discrepancies violate a federal law that prohibits attempts at monopolies by selling products for less than they cost to make…” (Note: For whatever it is worth, I do not think TP-Link is strikingly cheap compared to other “popular” consumer routers and access points, but I could be off.)
  • TP-Link devices are used by the Department of Defense, Drug Enforcement Agency, NASA, and other agencies.
  • “An analysis from Microsoft published in October found that a Chinese hacking entity maintains a large network of compromised network devices mostly comprising thousands of TP-Link routers.”
  • According to the Journal, people familiar with the TP-Link investigation have stated that the company does not engage with security researches complainted about security flaws in TP-Link products.
  • “TP-Link routers don’t appear to be related to China’s alleged breaches of at least eight U.S. telecom firms by a group dubbed Salt Typhoon…” Chinese hackers instead targeted out-of-date routers built by Cisco and Netgear.
  • Taiwan has banned government and educational facilities from using TP-Link routers. India issued a warning in 2024 that TP-Link routers present a security risk.

I used a TP-Link router for several years before upgrading to a MikroTik hAP ac3 router. As of the writing of the instant post, I still use a TP-Link wireless access point (it is a pure AP, no router capabilities), but I am in the process of swapping it out for a Netgear router with OpenWrt, which I will use as an Access Point instead of a router.
