Fritzbox, avm. Depending on your isp you can also use it to replace your modem, and they have mesh functionality.
-
What? Are those actually made inside the EU, not just by a German company but overseas?
-
They are actually developed in Berlin and made in EU. According to Wikipedia, some components, such as power supply or empty PCBs may come from Asia.

My ISP actually supplies Fritzbox routers by default.
I turned mine into a passthrough modem for my pfsense firewall to use, but it's a solid piece of kit.

Mikrotik.
Pro: it can be made to do everything
Con: you have to make it do it yourself (but it has easy wizards for common configs, so not a big issue)
-
This is the router my local associative ISP is supplying, a Mikrotik router with openwrt

Models with OpenWrt would be the best!
-
Totally agree! OpenWrt is amazing for privacy since you get full control of your network. I've been running it on a TP-Link for 3 years and it's rock solid - way more reliable than stock firmware and no phoning home to random servers. Just make sure to check the compatability list before buying.

...candidates for use with libreCMC. :)

Some already listed here, some newly added: AVM(Germany) - Fritzbox (they are actually partially build in the EU)
Lancom (Germany)
Mikrotik(Latavia)
Turris (Czech R.) - Omnia
Teltonika - Lithuania
Vantiva - France (formerly Technicolour, I don't think one can buy them directly, though)
Softwarewise of course OPNsense.
Btw: OpenWRT is technically not an EU-project, the foundation is a US foundation, but that wouldn't bother me too much atm.
In terms of market share AVM seems to be the largest one in the EU.
-
What about DD-WRT & FreshTomato ?
-
-
Turris Omnia
-
Mikrotik.
Especially the ARM64 models.
Just remember everything is an interface.
-
Opnsense.
\ Open source on your European box.-
Checking out their site, 600-1500 euro is not exactly home router league, except maybe for networking enthusiasts.
-
Use any low power box you have laying around. Put another NIC in it to make two or buy a small box with two (plus) already.
That's the great thing about *nix.
