I am planning to eventually build my own home server, and when I do I will hook it up via ethernet. But I do want to switch away from the generic FIOS router and use my own for more control over my data and security. Any recommendations?

    I think this is the best homelab router out there. If you are new to Mikrotik there is definitely a steep learning curve.

    Openwrt is fairly good too, but I think documentation can be lacking and confusing for some edge applications. My other concerns with openwrt is performance since it is compatible with a wide variety of hardware is difficult to know how it will perform without testing it.

      Yeah, it definitely took me a minute to get things set up properly, and I had to get a new VPN service, but it’s been great so far.
