If you’re savy then install open wrt on it. If you want expert mode, then install pfsense on an old PC/laptop. If you want pucker factor, then install pfsense in a VM where the host machine gets it’s ip from the VM.

Why are you like this, and who hurt you??
It’s actually not bad to do it as long as your host machine has a static ip. Makes it easier to take a snapshot before you make major changes. Just be prepared with an extra router. If you have a family the second the Internet is not working you will be blamed.

Yeah, that’s reasonable

This not so much

Lol, I get blamed enough for DNS, I don’t need routing too
What’s a good router one can use for openWRT? I just so happen to need a new one. No expert mode for me.
I would just look at routers with the features you want and check to see if it’s compatible.
Thanks! Just to be sure, the router company becomes inconsequential when I install openwrt, or am I mistaken?
As in say I buy a linksys router and install openwrt, linksys can no longer spy on my traffic, so I shouldn’t worry about that, right?
