I run two routers at home, and it's not for the reason you think
The article discusses the author's experience of using two routers at home for better network management. The primary router provided by the ISP is limited in functionality, prompting the author to add a second router for more control. This setup allows for enhanced security and customization of the home network.
- ▪The ISP's router is often a combo modem/router unit designed for the provider's convenience.
- ▪Adding a second router allows for better control over network settings and configurations.
- ▪The author's second router provides a layer of separation for managing untrusted devices.
