Was rather shocked to find BT hubs don't allow you to change DNS servers anymore and force you to use their own ones, so I can't properly setup adguard.

What routers are people using now that are reliable and will let me control my own network configuration

I use Protectli hardware with Pfsense or Opnsense. Doing this at home and in 10+ small/medium environments. Never had any issues, I highly recommend Protectli hardware + pfsense/opnsense.

    You can also get cheaper mini PC's on Alibaba for cheap. I did this in 2017 and it's still going strong. No moving parts, all passively cooked with an Intel laptop chip that has hardware encryption built in (core i5).

    Been using opnsense since the start and it's been rock solid.
