Best router for home use? (literature.cafe)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by gabe@literature.cafe to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I am planning to eventually build my own home server, and when I do I will hook it up via ethernet. But I do want to switch away from the generic FIOS router and use my own for more control over my data and security. Any recommendations?

I’m a professional in software development, sometimes tasked with administration stuff.

At home I love my FRITZ!Box. The only thing I’m missing is DNS rewriting, but I can work around that. If you don’t know what that is you don’t need it anyway.

Another thing I don't like about my fritz box is that the DHCP server for some reason assigns a single DNS server to the computers in the network

Yes! I asked their support several times for that, but without success :(
