I've had no end of trouble with routers and ones you should choose to be sure of.

The ones where you can flash OpenWRT seems the only choice if you want some semblance of security. But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using apt to download things, and I don't 100% know with confidence that using OpenWRT on it instead is keeping me right.

I love their switches but for routing/firewall I stick to PFSense.

Personally I use OpenWRT for access points.

OPNsense is better, because it's the same thing but doesn't require registering an account to download the image.

You need a Netgate account because they gated the download in some kind of online shop. Try it yourself.
