If it were not for the extensibility piece, you could probably get away with Mikrotik RouterOS or Ubiquiti EdgeOS, but ROS doesn't allow package installs, and while they do offer a few plugins of their own, they're not very diverse. That is one of the reasons I mentioned pfSense, it has much better support for the things you want to do if keeping it all one box is important. It is going to be a more complicated and difficult setup vs piHole or pfBlockerNG on pfSense. They can do it, but neither has a nice managed solution for DNS blacklists.
Neither is really better or worse in this regard. Speaking of Mikrotik, what's their shortcoming regarding DNS blocking + what is Ubi's advantage in the same are? The hEX thus can handle double the bandwidth. They are actually the same core hardware but the ER-X only has one internal connection to the switch vs two on the hEX. If you really don't think you will use the bandwidth then the ER-X has the advantage of easier setup vs the hEX. I hardly believe I ever would be in a situation to saturate the upstream, or even come close to 100 megs. Just because of that I wouldn't rule out the Edgerouter, I mean I'm a "normal" home user which means that the traffic anyway is gonna be asymmetric. Including what "extra" stuff you have implemented with your equipment to make your home network better. As mentioned I'm new to these products, so I'm really open to any ideas, just would like to read some real-life experience from actual users.

Besides that honestly I'm stuck.Īsk for the community: please come up with some pro / con arguments regarding these vendors and their devices. Regarding Mikrotik their hap ac2 sounds like a good entry model, with Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X comes to my mind. What I'm reading about Ubiquiti: it needs a dedicated controller, which repels me to some extent (maybe I just need a mindset change.) What I'm reading about Mikrotik: steep learning curve.
Integrated AC wifi nice to have, but I'll need to have dedicated APs anyway due to my home is literally cut into two with a thick concrete wall in the middle (everything else is drywall).Internet router able to NAT at least 1Gbps WAN.Let's see what capabilities and features I'm looking for: In my research 2 vendors came to the picture: Mikrotik and Ubiquiti. Well, if I'd devote some time to put all my wishes together, honestly I'm about to do it on a proper device, also which might have better support / ecosystem. Let's say I experimented with some proof of concept, but that's all. I know it is possible, played around with some stuff, but nothing serious. Having said that I never put much efforts into OpenWRT, its modules, extensions or scripting. One hand I'm a geek and having some ideas on my wishlist I would like to implement for a long time, but on the other hand while OpenWRT being versatile, the Linksys / Tplink hardware I'm using with are let's say so crappy. Hello there, so for a long time I only had "standard" SOHO routers, recently (last 8-10 years or so.) using them with DD, then Open-WRT, but nothing special. u/RoweDent created this awesome resource on network theory u/tht1kidd_ has created a suggestion post regarding information everyone needs to provide when asking a question about their network There have been some excellent guides written in this sub, and we're always looking for more!
