Best router for home use? (literature.cafe)

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?

UniFi Dream Router is also a nice router for internet speeds up to 700 Mbps.

Ubiquiti is hot garbage on a good day.

The Firewalla is pricey but amazing. I am running the Gold at home, and it runs Linux and supports Dockers so I'm running PiHole on the router.

Not sure about your budget, but I switched to a udm se and it's pretty awesome, for me the benefit comes in with cameras and access control. the UI and off the shelf tooling is very nice with it.

Opensense is another more diy option.

I used an edge router 4 before the udm for a few years and it was pretty ok.

Firewalla is also great if you want most things setup for you.

Off the shelf something like and EdgerouterX is great,

Raspberry Pi 4 with a UE300 and OpenWrt can comfortably do 1 gig with SQM. I don't know if it's the most cost effective way to do it but it's one way and it's working well in 3 setups I'm looking after.
