Hey, I have to get a new router. Looking at a Flint 4 because things are not costly enough as far as I am concerned. I have heard good things about the Asus Merlin firmware though and was wondering are there any upsides to either worth calling out?

Having switched from a (now Arista) Untangle server I've maintained for 17 years, to a new OpnSense box, I can say it was refreshing, though it comes with a bit of a learning curve. So far I am very impressed with what it can do.
