I prefer to use professional gear at home. The firmware for this class of devices is well maintained for a couple of years. Having said that, I used to have self built devices with
- M0n0wall from PC-Engines
- Mikrotik
- Ubiquiti Edgerouter 4
My Wifi is Ubiquiti Unifi.
I haven’t deployed a consumer device for at least 10 or more years. I don’t want to generalize, but support for these devices is usually limited (time and frequency wise). Keep in mind, your router is gateway to your private network.
if you have a basic understanding of IP networking, setup is managable. Google is a good friend 😉
