    Hot take. They’re both bad and you should use open source router firmware.

      It’s not even that hard to run OpenWRT or buy boxes with it on it already.

        Was interested in OpenWRT until I realised its not supported on my router (its reasonably new model (2022) maybe thats why)

      Even better: build your own router with OPNsense.
