I started with pfSense but very quickly got frustrated with the web UI although it was a massive step up from the ISP supplied router. Now I run a Linux VM and nftables for my router and it is by far the best system I have tried because it is so simple to manage. It took maybe half a day to learn to set up. As a bonus I am using NixOS as then all of my firewall config, interfaces, VLANs, + any other router-like config lives in a declarative configuration file which I can apply with one command. Before I was using Ansible + Ubuntu but I much prefer NixOS for a router.
