Years ago, another trade worker on a construction site was using their wifi stuff, and mentioned using it at home. I went and picked up the hexPOE router and i'm pretty happy with it, but all i'm doing is port forwarding and I set up a rule to capture all DNS requests and shunt them into my pihole.

The documentation is pretty spiffy and public.

I'm not really sure if this seems good because I don't know any better, or it's good because it's good.

edit Gli-net seems nice, but i'm a stickler of using a WAP separate from the router. I know I pay more.

It's exactly why I bought her two of them. One their main router and the other in AP mode ;)
