Secure network for self hosting. - eviltoast

I want to get into self hosting. I now have an Asus ZenWifi Pro ET12 router which i think is one of the more top of the line Asus routers. But now as i want to get into self hosting, should i switch it out for a mini PC like the topton j6412 which i have been looking at. Will this provide better security and speed. Or will it just make it slower and more unreliable?

    You have a WiFi 6E Mesh, that’s awesome, would be really stupid to replace it.

    However, you could look how to combine the Asus WiFi Mesh with a self-hosted firewall.
    E.g. using a OPNsense-VM as Gateway / DHCP / DNS server für all clients in the network …

    But that’s more for playing around.

      So the asus router offers enough secuirty for self hosting, even with exposing things through nginx proxy manager?
