I just got an email from my ISP that my router is being discontinued. Google fiber is sending me a new wifi 6 router. Can any of you give me info on this? Should I be getting my own? If so, what should I look for in one?

I have GF. I took an old Dell (optiplex?) and converted it into a pfSense router/firewall. Specs: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 8GB RAM, regular HDD. Added three additional 1gb ethernet ports via various expansion cards. I have them setup for their respective network (this hardware solution is not needed if you are familiar with VLAN),

It works great. I use the GF puck I got with the service as a DMZ Wifi and have connected it into it's own port - that way the Google traffic from that is segmented, at least.
