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 on a ZimaBoard 216 works astonishingly well and it’s easy to setup and manage. Toss in a Mikrotik CSS610 and you have a vlan ready setup in under an hour.

    If you don’t like the ZimaBoard, you can go with any of the Topton style router PCs from AliExpress for a couple hundred and have a 2.5Gb router running in proxmox with docker in a separate VM.

      pfSense is great!!! I bought a Netgate router which comes with pfSense Plus.

      OP, consider buying a Netgate router if you want no hassle, or if you’re up for installing an OS then you can put pfSense on a custom platform like ZimaBoard or Protectli.
