I don’t have a choice as there is almost no way I could convince my parents that using a 3rd party router would be the way to go. Especially trying to convince my dad, who once got pissed off because I wanted the password for the old family computer to remove a browser extension that was probably malicious.
I’d set up a 3rd party router by snaking an Ethernet cable to my room, but I’m not confident enough to change and keep up on router settings to keep me safer. Let alone updating the router if I go the route of a 3rd party nos, which I’d probably try.
I never use router from ISP, I use my own. Most routers from ISP are awful.

In the future if you are able to get your own router opensense is a great firmware for it. Also check out selfhosted you will learn alot from there.
I think you mean opnsense. I’m currently using openwrt with tailscale and adguard installed which is a pretty good option as well.
