Hi all, I’m looking to upgrade my router from the default one that came from my ISP.

I don’t need anything super fancy, just something with 4+ lan ports (1gbps is ok, 2.5gbps would be nicer), 1 WAN Port, Wifi-6 (802.11ax), and the ability to have an isolated IoT network (using a vlan for this would be nice).

Any suggestions? I’d like to keep the price down if possible. This is just for my home network.

Have you ever used PFSense? How do you find it compares to Opnsense, and - for anyone with experience - how hard would it be to migrate from one to the other these days?

I haven’t used PFSense, I’m afraid. There’s a fairly recent comparison here:
