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
Mikrotik. The depth and breadth of a tiny Hex S is mind blowing.
What i love about Mikrotik is. You buy it once and own it. Unlike something like Cisco or Juniper. You got tons of licensing fees.
I converted everything over to Mikrotik earlier this year. Excellent hardware and software and cheap. But has a bit of a learning curve.
Been using my Hex S for 4 years and couldn’t been happier. It’s crashed on me the total amount of zero times.
I like mikrotik, but if you’re not familiar with routers and their configurations, then it’s going to be a steep learning curve.
The hex S is wonderful. I don’t have one but I keep going back to look at it and weigh my options.
I don’t need another router, I really don’t. But it’s so nice! But I don’t need it!
I have Juniper, Cisco, watchguard, sonicwall, ubiquiti… So many routers and firewalls, I really do not need another one.
But I want one.
I got a hEX S a few weeks ago and I love it
