I think it was my first router too👍. It was solid as a rock and the only time I had an issue was early on when an update broke it.

Ubiquiti UDR7. Haven't done the combined thing for 23 years back when I ran Linksys WRT54G's with DD-WRT, and before that, m0n0wall on an old Penium III.

I had a Linksys WRT54GL, and I thought that router was awesome at the time. I've also had one of those Asus routers, and I thought it was pretty good. I had installed 3rd-party firmware on mine though; I had DD-WRT on the Linksys (though you might need the GL version for that rather than the G), and
