I’m moving into a new apt and the ISP is trying to rent a router at $20/mo, so I’d like to get my own router.

I’m considering setting up opnsense for the router & TP link Omega for the AP & Switch.

But this feels a bit overkill for an apt. Should I just get a all in one router instead? What are the pros and cons?

    Something that hasn’t been mentioned yet is that open wrt works on cheap devices (check compatibility first) including in all in one router / ap combos. For home use, the most likely used feature will be cake qos which will make a difference even without crazy speeds. Though anything that gives security updates is an upgrade from generic consumer routers

      I think this solution makes the most sense for my situation right now. I know it’s subjective, but do you have recommendations for 2 gigabit Internet?
