This is what I use in my house. I don’t understand what the deal is with this besides the fact that some people are ignorant and don’t change any of the factory router settings. You don’t even need to use WRT. Just change the factory passwords and config.

You’re probably underestimating the amount of people that don’t bother going into the Settings menu of the devices they own. It’s “most” rather than “some”. The percentage of the population that knows technology beyond the surface level of using it is tiny.

  Totally fair. I was trying to hold back on “blaming the normies”. But you’re right. There are a lot of people who don’t change any settings they just plug and play and pretend everything is fine.

  Dead serious
  
  I can’t decide
  
  Maybe if everything has an LLM and talks to its owner and adjusts itself based on the owner’s level of interest & understanding… that will be better?
