Not affiliated (but a customer): I will probably go with a Turris router for friends and family, whenever they ask me for help. Previously I tried to find a cheap OpenWRT based router, but then I kinda inherited the burden of supporting that: Initial configuration is non-trivial even with Luci, but that's a one-off thing and it usually Just Worked afterwards. And started to bit-rot, because I certainly didn't leave remote access for me to update the thing and had no inclination to do that either. Enter Turris: A powerful router based on OpenWRT. Automatic updates included. For basic setups you get a really, really easy UI, for advanced stuff you can still open Luci or ssh in.
