Was rather shocked to find BT hubs don’t allow you to change DNS servers anymore and force you to use their own ones, so I can’t properly setup adguard.

What routers are people using now that are reliable and will let me control my own network configuration

    I’ve got a Mikrotik RB4011, and I couldn’t be happier with it. It definitely has a learning curve, but once I got it setup how I want, it just works. I’m sure some other options have the same feature, but one of my favorite things is a script I have run every night that emails me a backup.

    I’ve only ever had to use it a few times, but having a recent backup of my router on hand all the time is nice.

      I’ve been very happy with my RB5009. I ditched my Edgrouter X because it’s not getting software updates anymore. Pros and cons to both, but Mikrotik/RouterOS is starting to make a lot more sense to me, and at this point I’m more comfortable with it than I ever was with EdgeOS.
