The salesperson at the store called this a 5G router, so I asked if it had a firewall that could be managed by the customer, she punted to the store manager, he said it had a firewall and a vpn and yes I can configure them myself. I was impressed and went for it.
Now I’ve read the manual and played with the web GUI, and found nothing about basic router features to provide security or even routing. I guess these features could be included and just not visible, accessible or configurable by the user, but that makes it hard to know what it might or might not be doing to provide even a minimally safe home network.
Of course I could just use the tower as an oversized cellular modem, treat the LAN port as unsafe and connect it to a separate firewall, vpn and wifi router, but that’s definitely not what they said at the store!
Am I missing something, and does anyone feel OK about connecting all their networked gear straight into this thing?
Thanks for comments...
