Hi, I got a new router from my ISP, but it doesn’t even have an option to change the address of the DNS server…

So I’m gonna switch (if necessary also the ISP).

I have never used a custom router, so I would appreciate a push in the right direction. What can you recommend? Synology? FritzBox? Asus? Bridge Mode on the ISP router + RasPi?

The following I am running on a separate device, but if possible it would be nice to have it directly on the router device:

  • PiHole
  • Wireguard
  • DDNS updater
