not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.
Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.
As opposed to, TP-Link, Cisco(Linksys) and other off the shelf routers it seems some will only go for brands with their own proprietary firmware?
I grabbed that Xiaomi router on the premise it has OpenWRT, but I’d like to see Ubi / Unifi routers put under the same scrutiny instead of just lumping a brand name as a no-go.
What’s your recommendation?
No doubt, and I would really love someone with more knowledge than me to poke into why that was going on (*edit: for clarity, this behaviour stopped after installing OpenWRT and is the stock Mi firmware that causes this)

I remember finding this thread where someone said they replaced their entire networking equipment

My router is this model for anyone wanting to nosey
This reminds me of some peeps saying using Newpipe is “(app) piracy”. I wholly disagree with them to this day.
If a website, which YouTube.com is and allows a client to connect and use its services it isn’t, piracy per se.
Much like because I have a UK IP address I can hit up get_iplayer and use that service which IMO should be the norm.
e: apologies for not been helpful, I’m just ranting.
I’ve had no end of trouble with routers and ones you should choose to be sure of.
The ones where you can flash OpenWRT seems the only choice if you want some semblance of security. But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using apt to download things, and I don’t 100% know with confidence that using OpenWRT on it instead is keeping me right.
The French are very defendant when it comes to VLC or other open sauce apps. I’d usually bring the Willy joke out but I’m with them on this one.
