New router required for Quietspace, current router has a security issue.

Nelson's advice: LinkSys WRT is the only option for security as it uses Open Source firmware which we can update when a security patch is released. NetGear are widely considered to be "compromised". see: http://www.pcworld.com/article/3149554/security/an-unpatched-vulnerability-exposes-netgear-routers-to-hacking.html #SecurityMatters!! https://github.com/dwyl/learn-security

E.g: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Linksys-WRT1900ACS-Gigabit-Processor-Ethernet/dp/B01562PSIU

the DWYL router is the "Top-of-the-Range" WRT3200 (cause why would I get the "cheaper" one?!) but the WRT1900 (V2) should be "enough" for our needs @ 16 given the lower Internet Speeds.

ignore the "hater" reviews, they are from people who either work for NetGear/TP-Link or are to lazy to learn WRT - which is an OpenSource router firmware - i.e. fully configurable and stable! remember kids: "nothing will work unless you do!"

Validated. Only to be done once we have taken over the lease at QS.
