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 have been using this for years and cannot recommend it enough. It’s literally the perfect home router in my opinion. Highly customizable, affordable, small, no gimped features “for ease of use” or whatever bs and extremely stable - I have never once had to touch it or reboot it after setting it up, which is more than I can say for any other router. The only downside is that you do have supply an AP separately.
It’s a great little machine. The downside, though, is that it’s not that powerful at all. With hardware offload enabled and features like QoS turned off, you’ll get about ~600mbps of max total bandwidth shared between up/down.
For most people that shouldn’t be an issue, though.
