These days I treat my home network the same as a public network. Too many "smart" devices to be worth trusting, so the devices I care about are locked down the same as they would be if I connected them directly to the internet - and sometimes I do. Frankly I have more trust that I can keep my phone or laptop up to date than any consumer-grade router (do you know which version of linux it's running? How often do you even get updates?)
