​If you want something like a SOHO firewall router type device, I prefer
DD-WRT. The brand of choice from what I understand tends to run between
Cisco, Netgear, Asus and Buffalo.​

" ' With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured,
the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all
irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and
warning... The first time any man's freedom is trodden on we’re all
damaged." - Jean-Luc Picard, quoting Judge Aaron Satie, Star Trek: TNG
