Ideally a router that works with minimal configuration and doesn’t require too much tinkering. Some features I am interested in:<p>- Firewall: Controls for both inbound and outbound traffic.<p>- Ad blocker: Something akin to Pi-hole functionality.<p>- Device isolation: The ability to isolate smart home devices from the rest of the network.<p>I have considered so far:<p>1. Firewalla: Most models lack built-in Wi-Fi (except for Firewalla Purple [1]), and shipping to Europe comes with import taxes.<p>2. Turris Omnia: Seems like a good choice [2] and is built on open-source OpenWrt. That said, I’m unsure how hands-on it would be to configure it for the features I need.<p>What would you recommend? What do you use at home?<p>[1] https://firewalla.com/collections/firewalla-products/products/firewalla-purple<p>[2] https://www.turris.com/en/products/omnia/
Any that runs OPENWRT.<p>It's important to use firmware from open-source because it's auditable and inspectable. Another reason is it supports everything you're looking for above, functionality-wise. As an music artist who doesn't program anything other than html+css, I appreciate openWRT's UI, great forums and resources, and network controls to prioritize traffic, reduce ads served, etc.
