I use a Microtik router, but I have moved the DHCP and DNS to an RPi 3. It works well. I am on Hughesnet which totally sucks, if you get stuck on it turn off the stinking "web accelerator" it is really a proxy and uses their DNS which could not find the address at times if it was at the front door. As soon as I get a good job, we are going to move to somewhere that we can get proper net- work access.
Like I said earlier I use VNC to get into an RPi that I run Chip on, so I can do changes to my HT. I carry a little "mobile router" with me. I turn it on and let the tablet and RPi start talking, then I set up a VNC to the RPi program my radio and get out or leave it there and play around with things.
