I’m looking at getting a gateway device to replace the ISP router that sits between the internet connection and the mesh WiFi.
I am running pi-hole on a (very old) raspberry pi, but I know some gateways get quite fancy so I’m wondering if it’s possible to have pi-hole on the gateway itself, to run as DNS and DHCP servers?
Other things I’m looking for in a gateway are VPN as a client (preferably Wireguard) and PoE ports for cameras.
If it’s possible to host something like pi-hole directly on the gateway then hardware recommendations are appreciated!

Openwrt can run Adguard, and as long as your gateway can run docker, you can probably get pihole working.

Thanks, so what I should look for is a gateway running OpenWRT, which can run docker?

I think its better to keep your gateway basic, and run extra services on a separate raspi or similar. Let your router/gateway focus on routing packets.

Yes you can install Docker on OpenWrt but do your own research as if I remember correctly you have to thinker with it
