More control. I can make a homemade PFSense router that gives me enterprise grade features like VLANS, VPN options and advanced firewall rules.
Performance. A dedicated AP from Unifi or Armada is more powerful and stable than most consumer wireless routers.
Price. Building a decent setup yourself actually pretty cost effective compared to high-end consumer routers.
It's DEFINITELY NOT for everyone, but if you're a nerd with some networking skills and time to spare you can make a baller enterprise-grade home network for under $300. My budget setup made from used components blows any $500 "premium" router away.
