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?

If you want to get full control over your router--if you're into that kind of thing--look into flashing your routers firmware with something like DD-WRT. Freshtomato is another optoin which is much more easily accessible (user-friendly UI makes it easier to work with than DD-WRT). You may want to choose a router from their if you want to flash custom firmware on your router (I recommend).

The router I suggested is compatible with DD-WRT, but not freshtomato. Any from the freshtomato list would be good. You get the most out of your router when you remove the manufacturer firmware.
