I agree with trying to move more of the network functionality out of the ISP provided device and into home servers. A simple and cheap access point[1] can provide all the L1/L2 you need. Then you can run dns and dhcp inside Linux, configure firewall rules, segment your network, etc. The sky is the limit! Note: I reccomend a dedicated access point over hostapd because I had a lot of problems with it circa 3 years ago.
