Oh yeah, seconding the recommendation for GL.iNet routers with OpenWrt (technically their slightly modified fork but it’s very close to stock) preinstalled as an easy way to get your feet wet. They’re pretty nifty little travel routers, good to have if you don’t already make a habit of putting something between your gadgets and hotel wifi.



Just in case: So-net is Sony’s ISP in Japan. If you haven’t lived there and used their services, this doesn’t affect you.
Not saying Sony doesn’t have a lot they need to fix or anything, just don’t freak out unnecessarily. End PSA.
