Open source maintainership can be an exercise in stress and guilt. You don't owe people anything and self-care is very important. Thanks for creating the project, and good job handing out some commit bits. Take care of yourself first, the code will come along eventually.

I agree with trying to move more of the network functionality out of the ISP provided device and into home servers. A simple and cheap access point[1] can provide all the L1/L2 you need. Then you can run dns and dhcp inside Linux, configure firewall rules, segment your network, etc. The sky is the limit!

Note: I reccomend a dedicated access point over hostapd because I had a lot of problems with it circa 3 years ago.
