One of the best non-wireless routers under $100 is maybe TP-Link ER 602 V2. It has 21,7Mbps OpenVPN speed, but they don’t indicate if it’s encrypted traffic or not. Flash 128MB and RAM 256MB, which is half compared to the two wireless Asus routers I mentioned above. Can’t find info on processor...

I would very much like to find a non-wireless router which cost under $100, is easy to set up for somebody who is not a networking professional, supports OpenVPN client/server and has a 1,5-1,8GHz dual core processor -- and has many years of security updates left. Any ideas? Because a fast VPN...

I've read in different forums how the WiFi was on even when it indicated it was off. A software glitch? Who knows?

You're right. I forgot about the internal antenna. Sigh!

I don't care about WPA3 because I only use wired LAN, but I can't find a non-wireless router which is cheap, easy to set up, supports OpenVPN and has a fast dual core processor -- and has many years of security updates left. Why buy a wireless router and expose yourself to all those security...

I didn't know that. But I'm mentioning this because in this thread AX routers are noticeably missing from a list with vulnerable routers. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/trend-micro-cyclops-blink-sets-sights-on-asus-routers.77953/#post-751994

RT-AC86U or RT_AX56U? https://www.asus.com/us/Networking-IoT-Servers/WiFi-Routers/ASUS-WiFi-Routers/RT-AC86U/HelpDesk_BIOS/ https://www.asus.com/Networking-IoT-Servers/WiFi-Routers/ASUS-WiFi-Routers/RT-AX56U/HelpDesk_BIOS/ Also, does AX56U have better security because it's an "AX"?

I watched the video a second time. In this case it's probably because the Sophos XG is in a VM, so I guess there's no other way then. Just one more question. If you want to have a VPN client/server in Sophos XG, does that mean you have to manually install OpenVPN and then manually update it, or...

I watched this Youtube video and to my surprise, I understood more than nothing. But I don't understand why the router is on the WAN side. What can the router do that a physical Sophos box connected to a fiber outlet can't do?

Yes, but then I read things like this: " Yikes. Another bug, I think, with wireless enable/disablement. When I learned of the Disable wireless button on the Overview page, I started using it to disable Wireless. However, today, I noticed that it was still showing as enabled in the Network menu...

I have one of the affected, but still supported routers. Should I reinstall or switch to my old wired-only router? How safe is an ASUS RX3041B, which had its one and only update in 2012? It's a wired-only router, so I'm thinking maybe it has fewer security holes because of it. I wish I could by...

I understand it's different for each update, but on average? Is it possible to make it faster by updating security and introducing new features separately?
