Re: WiFi Bridge Requirement
I run two routers: one inner and one internet-facing. One is the Netgear and the other is an Asus. The Asus has better admin features, so it's the outer.
do you use the netgear as just an AP?
2 routers would cause all kinds of NAT problems for video/voice apps to internet, as well as gaming ...

Re: hdhomerun.local
I always say that software / hardware systems are secure until an exploit occurs. I don't view it as a major vulnerability, but I tend to focus more on defense than offense.

Re: hdhomerun.local
Okay. So, it merely relying on network routing and firewalls. This if someone finds a way to hack themselves a connection on the router, they're in. I know that this isn't a major threat. I was just curious about SiliconDust's cybersec implementation on the device. Thanks.

Access Control
1. There's no authentication challenge presented.
2. The documentation implies that the device is performing access control by only allowing access from a device that is on the local network. Can you explain your algorithm here? It seems that the claim is merely that the algorithm ...

Re: WiFi Bridge Requirement
Good point on the BrosTrend device. I time-boxed my search for such products and figured that I'd return it if it failed. I see that its "bridge" mode isn't operating as a true bridge. I returned it a day after the test. I run two routers: one inner and one internet-facing. One is the Netgear and ...

Re: WiFi Bridge Requirement
Thanks. I'll post the test result with WiFi 7. During the test that I tried,I moved the bridge to a distance of about 35-40 feet from the router. The signal has to pass through a wall, a floor, and another wall. That's the closest I can move it. I can eliminate one of the walls however by swapping ...

WiFi Bridge Requirement
I just received the HDHR Flex 4K on Monday. I tried using a BrosTrend WiFi 6 AX3000 WiFi to Ethernet Adapter to connect to a Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 that is wired to an Apple TV 4K A1842 model.. That led to constant freezes. The product works fine with a Cat 6 run to the router. I'm going to try a ...
