PrivacyTechPro tip:

Your router likely has proprietary software installed from a large company that has full access to your internet connection and can "call home" at any minute.

Use a hardware firewall and a VPN on your network.

Every IOT (Internet of Things) device you connect to your home network not only announces your IP address, but also expands your network attack surface to hackers.

I recommend #Protectli Vault Pro VP242 4x 2.5G as a hardware firewall for most client's home and small business networks.

I put any IOT devices on a separate VLAN where possible with firewall rules to prevent them talking back to the VLAN that my PCs etc are on.

Run separate LANs for IoTs and your phone and computers. Also setup a guest WiFi account to give to friends that come over. Don’t let them connect to your home LAN

With openwrt you can achieve that and much more with less money.

Asus wifi/routers have a builtin persistent connection to Asus. The Asuswrt-Merlin firmware exposed it and it was listed as a configuration/access support feature.

Set one one of these up with 2x Beryl AX's as access points one for VPN protection and the other for video streaming. Cost about $750 AUD and a few days of research, but it was fun and now know my home network is fairly secure.
