Hi, I got a new router from my ISP, but it doesn't even have an option to change the address of the DNS server...

So I'm gonna switch (if necessary also the ISP).

I have never used a custom router, so I would appreciate a push in the right direction. What can you recommend? Synology? FritzBox? Asus? Bridge Mode on the ISP router + RasPi?

The following I am running on a separate device, but if possible it would be nice to have it directly on the router device:

  • PiHole
  • Wireguard
  • DDNS updater

I always liked Mikrotik. Not the most open of router but the most documented and configurable I've seen with a web, gui, ssh, or telnet I've seen

    +1 for Mikrotik.

    Get one of their routers that have an Arm or x86 processor and you can run PiHole and a DDNS updater on there as containers. Wireguard support (client and server) is built in.

    Even their cheapest hardware that runs routerOS has access to all the same features as their enterprise level gear.
