I don’t get it. Is this a reference to people doing finger pistols?

Really? Looks like Domino’s to me…

Sounds like someone else is watching on your profile.

Don’t have the Wi-Fi network “upstream” of the LAN. You want the connection between the LAN and Wi-Fi to be through the WAN so you get NAT protection.

The risk is the ISP Wi-Fi. As long as you’re using WPA with a good long random passkey, the risk is minimal. However, anyone who had access to your Wi-Fi could initiate an ARP spoof (essentially be a man-in-the-middle)

ETA: the ARP table in networking is a cache of which IP is associated with which MAC Address. By “poisoning” or “spoofing” this table in the router and/or clients, a bad actor can see all unencrypted traffic.

As an FYI: this set up is vulnerable to ARP spoofing. I personally wouldn’t use any ISP-owned routers other than for NAT.

Damn it, I chose lemm.ee as my backup account (primary is lemmy.world) as it wasn't the number two...

Brian Fellows?

I’m happy with my ecobees.

That would do both, but I wouldn’t buy that personally. Make’s troubleshooting a connection problem more difficult, and also if the device fails there’s two things you have to replace instead of just one. I’d go with a separate cable modem and router.

Or what they’re watching. Bobble-head Ron is a dumpster fire wearing a suit.
