Question: I have Cable internet here in Aus (100mb/10mb) and I like my connection, but we have to use Telstra's silly modem, and they refused to activate any other one on the network.
So, lets assume I don't trust this AP and Modem to be secure (fair enough assumption in my opinion) -- the best way would be to perhaps build my own Wireless AP running pfsense, on a BeagleBone Black or similar?

Would that be the most secure way to handle that situation?Since pfsense won't run on a beaglebone, that's a non starter. I also have my doubts as to a beaglebone's ability to reliably push 100mb of traffic.
Ah, that was just an admittedly poorly-researched example. I basically just meant a board that'll run open-source code.
