I would actually suggest buying one of Netgate’s prebuilt routers. They’re pricey, but it brings the peace of mind knowing that device is handling it exclusively, and with appropriate hardware.

You’re in selfhosted, so most people here are going to suggest you self host something like pfsense or opnsense, which would give you everything you need, but you know being self hosted you’re going to have a steep learning curve.
Otherwise go pick up any router at best buy, they’re all assorted levels of garbage.

I’d say both opn/pf sense are fairly easy to get started with. Now for something small I’d suggest openwrt

And the prosumer approach they take to networking features. OSPF and UPnP in the same software? I’ll never turn to anything else.
