I bought a Synology RT2600ac, and I'm liking it. I wanted more granular parental controls than I could do with OpenWRT, and I'm pretty happy with
the controls. The control I was looking for was cumulative time online - I want my kids off of the net after dinner, but also want to limit their daily time. You can create profiles by MAC address easily.

Call me paranoid, but I don't want Comcast touching my LAN at all - I have
my cable modem in bridge mode.
I'm using an intel N6005 based router box (via ali express), with
opnsense, which has been working pretty well. I could have configured
with proxmox, and opnsense as a vm, but I have a separate home server
(running proxmox).
I'm old-school, prefer a separate router box. I've seen videos on YouTube running Opnsense/pFsense as a VM, and it doesn't *feel* right to me.
I ran pfSense at work for some time, like it a lot.
Didn't know Synology made routers, I've used a few of their NAS devices
over the years.
