What Router can you recommend? (lemmy.world)

Hi, I got a new router from my ISP, but it doesn't even have an option to change the address of the DNS server...

So I'm gonna switch (if necessary also the ISP).

I have never used a custom router, so I would appreciate a push in the right direction. What can you recommend? Synology? FritzBox? Asus? Bridge Mode on the ISP router + RasPi?

The following I am running on a separate device, but if possible it would be nice to have it directly on the router device:

PiHole
Wireguard
DDNS updater

Thing lasted like 2 years. which is ridiculous. Personally I have started to look in to Mikrotik w

Good points -- I've never ran into any issues with UniFi personally.

At the time I was self-hosting the UniFi Controller on my Proxmox server for a switch and an AP. So i suppose your mileage may vary with UniFi.

As far as routers go, I've been running a pfsense for a while and its been great. There is definitely a bit of a learning curve and it's not something that I'd recommend to someone who has little networking knowledge. Once you understand how to work with it, there is very little you can't do.

Mikrotik has pop-ed up on my radar recently too, might have to give them a look.

Edit: Phrasing.
