Router

Looking for the most extensible home wifi router with parental controls. Pretty sure my current router is taking a massive poo. If the thing came with an API that I can play with, that would be amazing.

I think usually around here, people recommend the “cheap” one by TP-Link. It has many features, is reliable but doesn’t offer the newest crap which leads to issues.

What kind of functions do you need?
Just restrict websites or also rate limiting and allowed times?

I need to limit per device (MAC Address?) an auto time limit. White / black list functionality. On my current Netgear Nighthawk I can’t block an IP address - which is pretty lame. There is a massive scan that it registers as a DoS attack from a Microsoft IP address. I need to be able to auto block that IP address. I also don’t know what I don’t know.

I’ve got an ASUS router with these kinds of controls but it’s not a cheap device.

Also the WiFi coverage seems to be pretty darn good but I do have my house cabled with Ethernet so only mobile devices need the WiFi connection.

I have a Asus RT-Ac3200 that has those controls and it was not cheap. You can setup guest networks and setup QoS. It was $200 when i got it 2 years ago.
