If you want a good router, and have a bit of time to spare, I think the best route is to buy a low power machine [1], or assemble one yourself and run BSD or Linux.

Hopefully, in the near future we can have this done with libre hardware. Cheap POWER stuff would be great.

I did just this in the 90s and into 2000s with an amd dx4-100, FreeBSD, two network cards and a hub. Best firewall I could have asked for, reports out the wazoo, and was very reliable. And it was all free!
