    ISP controlled router, so basically no router, I only turned off 5GHz.
    Binisoft WFC, mostly to control Windows processes, like IP ranges.

    OpenWRT on a Linksys WHW03v2. It handles all including firewall for the network.

    Netgear "Router".

    However the functional parts are Modem, Router, Wireless Access Point, Hardware firewall, DHCP server.

    Software firewall is part of what is now called Windows Security.

    I have a mobile plan and my ISP provided a Huawei 4g router with built-in firewall.
    The last couple of month I have moved from Windows 10 to Linux (Xubuntu). In Linux I use the ufw firewall.
