Hi Lemmy Community,

At the moment i got a router-modem-combination from my ip and i want to be more independent. Therefore i want to use the provided hardware as bridge and buy my own router to manage my network.

In my home network i got

  • 2 Desktop PCs (cable)
  • 1 Switch (cable)
  • Several WiFi devices including smart home devices
  • Pi-Hole
  • Mac Mini as a linux Server (cable)
  • Synology NAS (cable)
  • AVM repeater

Before i start my own extensive research, may you recommend me a Router for my setup?

Thank you in advance :-)

Thank you for your extensive answers, now i have more questions than before :-D Due to time and energy i tend to an out of the box, non OSS solution. I'll keep you updated on my decision and how it went

This is a great community.

Why not both? OPNsense and pfSense both sell official hardware.

Both are pretty easy to configure but have pretty much no limit on how deep you can go.

Unifi works great as well but you hit a ceiling fairly quickly if it needs to do anything advanced.
