Was rather shocked to find BT hubs don’t allow you to change DNS servers anymore and force you to use their own ones, so I can’t properly setup adguard.

What routers are people using now that are reliable and will let me control my own network configuration

    Pfsense is fantastic. Extremely flexible. I am contemplating switching to opensense when it’s time for an upgrade (it’s been running seamlessly for many years, but someday I’ll need to).

    Note that it’s a router, not a wireless access point. For that I use a few Ubiquity APs (I forget the model).

      I just ordered a Netgate SG-1100 and I am beyond excited to spend the next few days seeing what this thing can do.

      pfSense is indeed fantastic. The best part about it is you can install it on pretty much anything, as long as you have a couple reasonably fast network interfaces and an okay-ish processor depending on the network load it will just work. Also has OpenVPN server baked in which is pretty cool

        It also comes with a dyndns-client built in. Very useful for updating the address of the OpenVPN server.
