Which router do you use?
Following the Is your computer's internet connection wired or wireless? (Poll) I thought it might be an idea to have an accompany thread on routers 
-
Are there any routers you’d recommend? Are you happy with the one you’ve got?
-
Do you use custom firmware like Merlin? (If so why? If not, any particular reason why?)
If your recommended router excels in any of the below that could be worth mentioning:
- Security and privacy (some routers dial home/spy on you)
- Low power consumption modes
- Eco modes for lower antenna strength (lower radiation)
- VPN suitability (like Wireguard)
- Anything else worth mentioning/considering?

C’mon, someone had to say it.

Mikrotik with Terraform is priceless. So so so good. You can rollback to any state really quickly and even provision everything from scratch in seconds.

I have a Turris Omnia, which runs an OS based on OpenWrt out of the box. You can install OpenWrt instead, if you prefer (I’m fine with Turris OS). In either case, you can configure all kinds of packages for VPN, NAS, NextCloud, and much more.
The distributed firewall they mention is disabled by default.
They just announced a newer model called Omnia NG. There’s also a modular system called Mox.
The documentation has much more information about the hardware and software.
