[QUOTE="bayasdev, post: 918861, member: 41799"] Never trust the black box stock firmware that comes with consumer grade routers, get yourself an OpenWrt capable router like the Netgear R7800 and add all the packages you may need like Adblocking, VPN, encrypted DNS, QoS and other cool networking stuff. You can even compile your own OpenWrt builds and achieve absolute control over your home network. Avoid Broadcom routers like the Netgear R7000 or most Asus models at all costs because Broadcom it's a company that hates the open source community and consequently affects its users' freedom to run custom firmware on their devices locking them to use that black box dumbed down stock firmware with zero cool features and an unknown number of security backdoors/vulnerabilities.
