There's never been a better time to build your own router—a practice which the FCC will hopefully not *also* ban for US #homelab consumers :)

Homebrew routers just got a whole lot more important in the US

Knowing how to build your own router for your homelab is going to be a useful skill, until this FCC ruling is reversed:https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-updat...

Is there some solution to replace a fiber optics receiver? I'd like to try self-hosting without requiring a VPS, but I'm not sure if there are any routers that allow me to substitute the one provided by my ISP for that specific case.

So you have an FTTH type of setup, right? So why don't you just put your own router right behind the ISP provided fibre to ethernet box?

That's what I do. I treat the ISP device as an untrusted device, a part of the public internet as far as I'm concerned. No need to try to circumvent the ISP device.
