I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.

    Best thing to do is to get a fanless mini PC with multiple ethernet ports and hook up a decent access point to one of those ports.

      Then you’re still looking at a mess of devices and a relatively power hungry system plus you still have your ISPs modem

      I need my Internet for work, so I just replaced my ISPs modem with a FritzBox, which is not ideal, but serves me well, gets updates for quite a while and works pretty much always.
