I went through building a home network recently. I went into the project planning to build my own pfsense box, but after researching it I decided that I couldn't piece together a custom solution that would both fit my needs and beat an off the shelf ubiquiti edge router in more than one of: price, performance, reliability, power usage, and form factor. As to the "reliability" point: I love messing with my own networking stuff, but I've learnt the hard way that if I build my infrastructure from scratch, I'll inevitably play around with it too much and it'll break as soon as I desperately need it to just work.
