Best router for home use? (literature.cafe)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/selfhosted
 

I am planning to eventually build my own home server, and when I do I will hook it up via ethernet. But I do want to switch away from the generic FIOS router and use my own for more control over my data and security. Any recommendations?

but what is nice, many tp-link hw can run regular openwrt, which is way better than the thing they provide...

I don't think their Omada routers support OpenWRT, unfortunately :(

The Omada probably not. But many other tp-link routers support it, especially the low spec ones. I mean, if we are getting to something more performant and feature rich, there are probably much better options, like Turris Omnia, some Microtik stuff and many other.
