Just like the operating system on your computer & cell phone, you can change the software running on your router.

You can have all of that with ASUS router out of the box.

No you can't. You're being silly. They don't even support lacp with more than 2 members out of the box. No gateway groups, no unbound with adjustable cache ttl and cache revalidation. I would know I switched away from Asus specifically because of it's shortcomings, many of which cannot even be fixed by ddwrt such as low system memory for state table, which btw can easily be filled up by torrenting. My opnsense box has a huge state table because I just dropped in 8GB of ram.

You only need to look at the Asus router admin interface to see how many more pages of configuration options opnsense has.

I mean you're literally the one who asked ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ who am I to deny you the enlightenment. But I assume you're just trolling or have the maturity of a teenager because clearly you're wrong.

Opnsense / pfsense is practically a business router like what you might find at a university or hospital. In no universe is it comparable to a consumer router, let alone one from Asus.

I know so, and clearly so do you since you haven't offered any arguments to the contrary. Besides "nuh uh you're still wrong"... It's so funny that you would pick such a losing argument to troll about though, like why wouldn't you pick a topic where you can better fake that you're arguing in good faith?
