A comment on UniFi Express.

I am lucky enough to have FTTH service where the provider furnishes me with an SFP stick with simple DHCP (no PPPoE). Beyond UniFi, Microtik, and rolling your own, there’s very little option in consumer routers.

Yep, just had my ISP take my SFP ONT back for a regular RJ45 ONT so I could use a different firewall with RJ45 only WAN. Hard to find a good box with SFP WAN.

Some Netgate firewalls have SFP WAN ports.

You need a router that takes a standard sfp and can support a dhcp client? That’s basically any router!
