Secure network for self hosting. (alien.top)

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?
