I'm looking at getting a gateway device to replace the ISP router that sits between the internet connection and the mesh WiFi.

I am running pi-hole on a (very old) raspberry pi, but I know some gateways get quite fancy so I'm wondering if it's possible to have pi-hole on the gateway itself, to run as DNS and DHCP servers?

Other things I'm looking for in a gateway are VPN as a client (preferably Wireguard) and PoE ports for cameras.

If it's possible to host something like pi-hole directly on the gateway then hardware recommendations are appreciated!

Look into a Gl.Inet device. Ships with OpenWRT and can run whatever you want as an integration.

Thanks! It seems OpenWRT was the magic word I was needing.
