My router went capoot on me this morning. It had been having issues for the past week, always going down around somewhere between 6-7am. Usually I've gotten it to come back up, but this morning it's a no go. It's powered on, green light a blazing, but I can't get a colored ring to show up. I can't even get it to factory reset.
So in an effort to keep costs down, I found a used router on Amazon for $20. If it works, are there any security risks with using a used router? Could someone have installed a rootkit and gain access to my network/devices? Would doing a factory reset be all I need to do?
I don't care about using the Orbi app.
