Look into MikroTik
I love MikroTik, but I don’t think it meets OP’s needs. RouterOS isn’t beginner friendly.
Yep. Very powerful and cost effective routers. Way too easy to screw something up if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Yeah
Quickset is ok.
I killed my access to the web config with a bad NAT rule. The configuration software still connected and I fixed it that way.

Also i dont believe its open source as requested. Although openwrt can be flashed on some models
This is what my ISP provided, a microtik router with openwrt flashed on it
I second this.
