Edgerouter X runs around $50, and the Edgerouter Lite is under $100 ($88 currently on Amazon). Both run Ubiquiti's fork of Vyatta/VyOS on top of Debian, on MIPS-based CPUs.

The Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite or Edgerouter X is cheaper and able to handle gigabit network traffic, and can terminate OpenVPN. https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-EdgeMax-EdgeRouter-ERLite-3-... or https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-EdgeRouter-Advanced-Gigabit-... but honestly so can any consumer grade router capable of running open-wrt.
Can anyone talk about hardware and software one can run at home to help protect themselves more?
I have a pfsense box for firewalling the whole connection. I should look and see if I can integrate VPN with this as well.
Right now I use a personal router with Astrill VPN for when I am out and about at coffee places. This: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K6MHRJI/ref=oh_aui_sear...
Plus I also have this Ubiquite Edge Router I carry around too for wired connections. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YFJT29C/ref=oh_aui_sear...

total up to $152 at the moment. the wire cutter's suggestion for best router/access point is a $180 netgear product. and based on my prior experience, the netgear hardware won't last more than 12 months.
