Yeah the only downside with that I have to recommend hardware that can be easily get off retail shelves for most of our residential customers for internet. It also has to be maintainable by the customer too.
The customer already had netgear hardware at his home and wanted to stay with the same hardware. It's just a pain to set them up, especially the newer Wi-Fi 6 and 7 routers.
But yeah, I Personally use Mikrotik for my own homelab. I actually have a USB stick hooked up to it so I can run containers and run tailscale on it so it acts as a subnet router for my tailnet.
So yes, those are good routers, but too complicated for average joe to use.
