Hi Lemmy Community,

At the moment i got a router-modem-combination from my ip and i want to be more independent. Therefore i want to use the provided hardware as bridge and buy my own router to manage my network.

In my home network i got

  • 2 Desktop PCs (cable)
  • 1 Switch (cable)
  • Several WiFi devices including smart home devices
  • Pi-Hole
  • Mac Mini as a linux Server (cable)
  • Synology NAS (cable)
  • AVM repeater

Before i start my own extensive research, may you recommend me a Router for my setup?

Thank you in advance :-)

    I’ve just bought a 7800 because it can replace my Sky Router apparently with a little tinkering. I have an Openwrt router running as an AP in my loft but was gonna leave this on stock firmware just because I tried to use the Openwrt as DHCP and it didn’t seem to want to work, maybe I just don’t understand it well enough.

    All I really want to do is point at my Adaway servers, so I’ll be able to do that with the stock firmware.

    Anything is better than what Sky have me locked down to.
