Hi all, I’m looking to upgrade my router from the default one that came from my ISP.

I don’t need anything super fancy, just something with 4+ lan ports (1gbps is ok, 2.5gbps would be nicer), 1 WAN Port, Wifi-6 (802.11ax), and the ability to have an isolated IoT network (using a vlan for this would be nice).

Any suggestions? I’d like to keep the price down if possible. This is just for my home network.

    I’d say both opn/pf sense are fairly easy to get started with. Now for something small I’d suggest openwrt.

    For a full setup you can’t beat xxsense as firewall and router and stand alone AP’s for WiFi.

      And the prosumer approach they take to networking features. OSPF and UPnP in the same software? I’ll never turn to anything else.
