For protecting Dave's home network, a Raspi with openSUSE and iptables will suffice. Dave said he has ADSL, so no more than 100Mbit/s downlink which the Raspi (or similar) will easily handle. For comparison, think of what kind of CPU might be sat in the ADSL modem.
I wonder if there is some suitable hardware out there that can run openWrt software easily.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWrt>
A router based on that would get updates and is easy to configure and maintain.

Ah, but that table doesn't "recommend" hardware, doesn't even say which are easy. I have seen some routers that require to solder new pins to create a serial port for access. When I saw that, I abandoned my attempt to flash the router and bought another one instead.
Indeed. Better to start at https://openwrt.org/ then follow the link to Supported Devices https://openwrt.org/supported_devices and then to I want to buy a router which is supported by OpenWrt https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_available_864 which is titled Table of Hardware: Ideal for OpenWrt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
