I am planning to eventually build my own home server, and when I do I will hook it up via ethernet. But I do want to switch away from the generic FIOS router and use my own for more control over my data and security. Any recommendations?

Mikrotik hex are stupid cheap for the speed and features you get
Another vote for mikrotik. I got a hex s with gigabit, one POE port and one SFP port. It has hardware encryption for wire guard and an excellent UI for like $80 usd. Highly highly recommed.
My only wish is more POE but a friend gave me a switch with more ports so that’s covered.
Big fan of Mikrotik, but it helps to have some experience.
Haven’t tried hex, but RB2011 would be my default recommendation, and I’ve seen RB4009 for ~£120 (bargain of the century!)
Anyone tried out the L009UiGS-RM? Seeing that it could also run my pihole seems like a big advantage. My edgerouter lite is getting old.
