Netgear 'fixes' router by adding phone-home features that record your IP and MAC address

Yup.

I did quite a lot of research on routers as I required my SOHO one to have a baked-in OpenVPN client with the CPU horsepower to deal with the encryption overhead, but that could also support multiple VPN profiles with bypass for dedicated connected devices, but that also didn't cost the Earth. This limited the field considerably. In the end I went for an ASUS RT-AC88U and then flashed it with the 3rd party Merlin version of ASUSWRT. It's been great so far.
