Question for everyone - I’m looking to set up a dedicated pfsense firewall appliance + wifi, but it seems like 99% of the wifi routers are cloud managed anymore - recommendations for a decent modern one that is only managed internally? After my experiences with nest and tplink’s cloud services stuff, I’m super leery of web reviews.
Obviously, something maintainable in keeping with R2R ethos, not some sort of cloud-locked remote-controlled stuff.
My plan is to have a bunch of my self-hosted stuff sit inside this safe zone, inaccessible from outside of it. I currently have a really cheesy old 802.11g router, and I’d really like to go with something that supports higher speed and a little bit more polished management site (ideally one that can tell me the name of the devices, which even my old surfboard could do).
5Ghz 802.11ac would be nice, but really anything newer than g will be worth looking into.
