Fixing Weak Wi-Fi Router Security

Actually, that is not strictly so [1]. Starting in 2.5, they are requiring AES-NI instructions. I am a bit irritated with that as I bought one of their "official" routers to support them (The one based on the PC Engine APU2) and I use it as a home router, so I really don't need that support.

You can always swap to OPNSense.

I'm annoyed they discontinued support for x86-32. My Soekris could run with a VPN board and saturate its 100 mbit ports.

Good news there as well is that OPNSense supports x86-32 just fine though.

Said it below, but the APU2 does support AES-NI.

I wanted to make sure you saw this.

Thank you for that, I made a mistake. I was thinking of the APU1.
