securityn0won Security Begins at the Home Router

Agree on lack of support. I have an account that is blocked. I forgot the password since it was always logged in. When I try to recover the password, it asks me a bunch of questions that I am pretty sure I am answering correctly. At the end it just tells me that the account cannot be recovered... even if I had the second factor authenticator still working and I punched in the right code. I searched high and low online but since they do not have any kind of support I have no way out. It is depressing.

Why did not they add the features to OpenWrt trying to make it better? Almost all the forks of OpenWrt die in months. Some lasted only few years. I am afraid that it is a wasted effort.

I installed Google WiFi for a friend.

I found aggravating that:

- I need a smart phone and install an app to set up and configure the router.

- I also like the effort of simplifying the router configuration but I found it is lacking an "advanced mode"

- why if the Internet is down, the internal network does not work at all?

Do you realize that OpenWrt is not very secure and DD-Wrt is even worse?
