The surprising order means any new Wi-Fi router models sold in the country must be US-made, or receive an exemption from the Pentagon or Homeland Security Department.

    this isn’t for everyone. if you don’t know what a subnet or gateway are then this isn’t for you.

    get yourself a micro firewall appliance. something with an N100 Intel. should have around 5 network ports, you’ll only really need 2 if you’re just hooking up internet.

    you’ll also want to get an unmanaged network switch. this will take your one port on your router and split it into 8,12,24,48, etc.

    you’ll also want to install opnsense or pfsense on your router, configure it correctly, and maintain updates going forward.
