I am planning to eventually build my own home server, and when I do I will hook it up via ethernet. But I do want to switch away from the generic FIOS router and use my own for more control over my data and security. Any recommendations?

    They don’t supply PoE, mind.

    I’m planning an ubiquiti deployment:

    • 5-6x AP 6 Pro (haven’t done survey yet)
    • 1x TL-SG1016PE PoE switch (yuck, but cheap)
    • 1x R86S running opnsense and docker VMs, with unifi controller and pihole in docker

    The R86S is the same price as the dream machine, but good luck running pihole on the DM.

    I considered Mikrotik, but my mum would have to call me every time there was an issue, and it would only be marginally cheaper. I expect any competent local tech to be able to support unifi and opnsense.
