Was rather shocked to find BT hubs don’t allow you to change DNS servers anymore and force you to use their own ones, so I can’t properly setup adguard.
What routers are people using now that are reliable and will let me control my own network configuration
pfSense is great!!! I bought a Netgate router which comes with pfSense Plus.
OP, consider buying a Netgate router if you want no hassle, or if you’re up for installing an OS then you can put pfSense on a custom platform like ZimaBoard or Protectli.
