So this may be a good place to ask. With this news in mind does anyone have a good guide to follow to build your own router. I’ve read a little that a mini pc with more than one Ethernet port is the only requirement but I haven’t found any good guides yet, only articles on why you should.

    If you search for "install OPNsense" or "install PFsense" you'll find quite a few guides. It's not difficult to get going with these, but you should expect a bit of a learning curve if you're coming from preconfigured home routers. It's worth it though: these are far more powerful systems than regular home router software and give you much more control and advanced features like VLANs and intrusion detection.
