I got a pretty great openwrt router, I want to set it up as privacy respecting as possible.

I am aiming to set it up offline as much as posssible before giving it network access.

I have always used ISP provided units so this is new. It comes with adguard and such but I am thinking about a fresh install to be safe?

    Create guest networks with AP isolation for IOT and guests. Switch to a good DNS such as Quad9 or NextDNS, enable Wireguard for all devices on your network. Set a strong admin password and disable remote/WAN access to your router.
