I have a TP-Link router. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I searched around for a bit and I literally could not find which models of router were effected. All articles about Botnet-7777 are frustratingly vague with this.
I've had no end of trouble with routers and ones you should choose to be sure of.
The ones where you can flash OpenWRT seems the only choice if you want some semblance of security. But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using
aptto download things, and I don't 100% know with confidence that using OpenWRT on it instead is keeping me right.Any opinion on Mikrotik?
I love their switches but for routing/firewall I stick to PFSense.
Personally I use OpenWRT for access points.
OPNsense is better, because it's the same thing but doesn't require registering an account to download the image.
Its been a couple of months but I don't remember that requirement...
You need a Netgate account because they gated the download in some kind of online shop. Try it yourself.
