Thanks a bunch. I have actually used unifi routers in the past and didn't always have a great experience with them, but it's been a while and I feel like I might be ready to try again. Will also look into gl.inet, thanks!
Unifi has improved a lot in very recent times in terms of both features and ease of use. I wasn't that keen on their router/firewalls previously, but I quite like them now and the prices on some of their gateway hardware are unbeatable.
The Unifi Express is $150 and includes a built in access point and runs their software stack so you don't need to host it elsewhere like you used to. Only real downside is it doesn't have a built-in switch, but a cheap dumb switch should be plenty for normal uses and you always have the option to buy a Unifi (or other brand) managed switch if you want to do more advanced stuff.
Some of Ubiquiti's old EdgeRouter line supports OpenWRT. I'm running it on a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X. I doubt any of their newer Unifi stuff does though.
