    But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using apt

    That’s a huge fucking red flag and I would yeet any network equipment responsible for fudging such a thing.

      No doubt, and I would really love someone with more knowledge than me to poke into why that was going on (*edit: for clarity, this behaviour stopped after installing OpenWRT and is the stock Mi firmware that causes this)

      I remember finding this thread where someone said they replaced their entire networking equipment

      My router is this model for anyone wanting to nosey
