[ale] So, who do we like for a new 4 port gigabit LAN/WAN Firewall Routers these days?

[Raylynn Knight]

Yes that’s still a thing.  OpenWrt is very active.  The Ubiquiti ER-X is very well supported by OpenWrt as are a few of the other EdgeRouters.

I believe Netgear used to denote model numbers ending in "L" as particularly suitable for this. I tried it one time, but on a very old wifi router that didn't have the up-to-date radios for the wi-fi I wanted so I didn't keep up with it. It seemed like a well done project at the time.
