Great thank you for the information. I've held off on getting a half decent router as there is so much to know. I've always wanted to get one I can put my own firmware and the benefits they have but just not sure the best route. I also have lots of people in the house so want something that can handle many connections at once like 10 devices says. The isp router only has 4 Ethernet ports which a couple more would be handy so that is also a wish list. Anyways thank you I will look into it a bit more.
One thing worth noting is that you don't need the ethernet ports to be on the router itself. You can always add a switch for more ports. 2.5G switches are pretty cheap now, and if connected to a 10G port on your router should provide plenty of bandwidth. (Could even get a 10G switch, but that'd likely be overkill.)
