I'm a big fan of MikroTik brand routers. I've got a one of the CCR
(Cloud Core Routers) on the head-end of my WISP handling several hundred
customers.  Obviously you don't need one that powerful, but they all use
the same OS and have roughly the same options.  Very very customizable
and security updates / upgrades are available for YEARS.  Consumer
routers generally stop receiving security updates after just a year or
two and then you're running a router that ends up as part of a botnet.
