I am planning to eventually build my own home server, and when I do I will hook it up via ethernet. But I do want to switch away from the generic FIOS router and use my own for more control over my data and security. Any recommendations?

    They work with existing Ubiquiti AP’s no problem. I have the Dream Machine (I guess Dream router now) and it’s awesome. Wish I got the Dream Machine Pro which is switch-like and comes with no AP’s so you have to add them as needed and it supports cameras.

      They don’t supply Poe, mind. I’m planning an ubiquiti deployment:

      5-6x AP 6 Pro 1x TL-SG1016PE PoE switch (yuck, but cheap) 1x R86S running opnsense and docker VMs, with unifi controller and pihole in docker

      The R86S is the same price as the dream machine, but good luck running pihole on the DM
