Didn't OpenWRT have some security holes a while back? I'm trying to sell
clients on a first line of defence against potential ransomware attacks so I
need something rock solid.

There are off the shelf OpenWRT routers. I use:
* Turris Omnia as edge routers: https://www.turris.com/en/omnia/overview/
* GL iNet Convexa-B as access points
Both work well, and are native OpenWRT solutions. The Omnia is a bit expensive,
but you could just stick with GL iNet devices if cost is a problem.
Kind regards,

If I was installing such a thing at a customer site I would first
suggest a reasonable off the shelf product rather than a custom built
black box.
I have run pfsense very happily at work (and home) for many years - it's nicely
comprehensive and easy to use. Netgate (owners of pfsense) make some devices
with pfsense preinstalled, which I can't speak from much experience with. Until
we moved office and I got the budget to replace it, we have an old Pentium dual
core Dell desktop running pfsense.
