I am thinking about upgrading my router. I am not a super advanced
user. Got a Synology NAS with a few docker containers running. I had
my eyes on the [GL-iNet Flint](https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-
ax1800/) (or the newer Flint 2). Additionally I was wondering if it
would make more sense to maybe get the [Synology
RT6600ax](https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-ax1800/). But the Flint
is significantly cheaper.

Any thoughts on those two models or any other recommendations that are
easy to setup and don't break the bank?

OpenWrt on the hardware that matches your needs and budget. The forum
has great threads on this.

This subreddit is about discussing selfhosting software. Not about
which networking gear zo buy

Not a great forum for this answer or you should specify how much
traffic you are pushing on your self hosted, home network and whether
or not you expect to use the routers tunneling.

That said, I'm a fan of the glinet stuff having used the mango and
opal. But for any serious hosting you'll need more than the ports
provided on those travel routers.
