Compulsory routers

[Nico Rikken]

I assume you refer to the 'Horizon Box'? I'll probably end up with such
a box in the near future. My only hope is to put up a separate router to
get some separation. Ideally I would be able to select my own router, as
that would imply connectivity is more standard and strict. Then again
backdoors and security weaknesses are real, certainly in hardly updated
modem-routers.
