Hi there,

I played with OpenWRT few years ago, almost 10, with a lynksys but never any after.

At the moment I'm trying to improve the security in my home network and I'm looking for new HW too if it make sense for the use.

At the moment I have a modem and the netgear WRN1000v3. THe modem is an old one but still keeping up with the connections. Unfortunately the firmware is bad and doesn't allow port forwarding or changing defaults port. For this reason I instead use the Netgear router which through the modem allow me to connect to the ISP. In other terms I set up my credentials on the router netgear which via the WAN port and the router connects to the ISP.

First question: Is this feature also available in the Openwrt dedicated to the WRN1000v3?

If not who can suggest me a decent router where I can install OpenWRT? I'll be happy if asked to open a new post about modems selection.

thanks

The Netgear WNR1000 v3 has only 4MB Flash / 16MB RAM -> way too little for LEDE.
Get a new router.

either the modem and the router netgear are a out of date and I'm considering on update the system also for security reason due to a public server I run at home

beside the server which has not big visits, the system is at home with a scarce usage on wifi and some over ethernet.

I can consider update just the modem now or going for a modem/router. I'd like to flash it with Openwrt or Lete as above also mentioned.

has any of u a modem to recommend? Let say price between 50 and 85 but can be increased for good resons

any modem router to recommend with price around 100/150?

cheers
