Ideally a router that works with minimal configuration and doesn’t require too much tinkering. Some features I am interested in:
- Firewall: Controls for both inbound and outbound traffic.
- Ad blocker: Something akin to Pi-hole functionality.
- Device isolation: The ability to isolate smart home devices from the rest of the network.
I have considered so far:
1. Firewalla: Most models lack built-in Wi-Fi (except for Firewalla Purple [1]), and shipping to Europe comes with import taxes.
2. Turris Omnia: Seems like a good choice [2] and is built on open-source OpenWrt. That said, I’m unsure how hands-on it would be to configure it for the features I need.
What would you recommend? What do you use at home?
