I mean, it's all about balance and knowing where you are on the privacy and security spectrums. Absolutes may not exist. I just want to access the internet without being measured or establishing some kind of profile for marketing or otherwise. If I connect to a public wifi I want it routed...

New BE86U, first flash with Merlin and factory reset. Seems to be working great, still building trust.

Perhaps they could fill it with a bespoke pixel serving device.

Thanks man, all is well. The AC86U is still chugging along. Best router ever made.:)

What kernel is the new version using?

Just got a 220+ myself, in Synology's Raid 1 config. Great unit, having Docker is really helpful, I run Jellyfin on it. My backup plan is a USB backup disk for critical stuff. Here's some Raid and Backup advice. Op- Yeah so the Media Server on Synology is adequate for a flac streamer, my Naim...
