A "home network" is the network that connects your devices to the Internet and each other. The "networking devices" that create this home network are called a router (specialized in "routing" network traffic from your devices to the Internet) and a hardware firewall (specialized in compartmentalizing your home network), although their functions overlap. For instance, routers usually also have some basic firewall capabilities. Another way of thinking about it is that a home network is the *"intranet"* sealed off by your network devices into a *private* network, in contrast to the *Internet* which is a *public* network accessible to anyone.

A "home network" is the network that connects your devices to the Internet and each other. The "networking devices" that create this home network are called a router (specialized in receiving network traffic from your devices via an "Access Point" and "routing" it onwards to the Internet) and a hardware firewall (specialized in enforcing "firewall rules" and compartmentalizing your home network), although their functions overlap. For instance, routers usually also have some basic firewall capabilities. Another way of thinking about it is that a home network is the *"intranet"* sealed off by your network devices into a *private* network, in contrast to the *Internet* which is a *public* network accessible to anyone.

We recommend setting up your home network with a hardware firewall that runs the [OPNsense](https://www.privacyguides.org/en/router/#opnsense) operating system, paired with a router that runs the [OpenWrt](https://www.privacyguides.org/en/router/#openwrt) operating system. Although you can get by with just a router, a hardware firewall will enable a more secure set up. In this configuration, the OPNsense firewall does all of the heavy lifting, and the OpenWrt router is limited to the role of a "Wi-Fi Access Point" for your devices to connect to.
