Yeah, you’re absolutely correct here. But him having already made the investment and removing some of the control over his network from his ISP is a step in the right direction. It should also be noted that, for someone that does not have the knowledge yet, one step at a time is the sanest path, and I say this from my own experience. I went all in, and that led me to making many mistakes.
As you say, adding something like OPNSense or OpenWRT between the Eeros and the ISP modem is the next logical step. Then, getting a switch (or some switches depending on his needs) and ssid-vlan taggable APs to replace the Eeros. After that, its time to have 7 or more local networks in the house 🤣. It can get wild, and its so much fun. The feeling of empowerment this provides is second to none.
