I now am able to get fiber Internet where I live (Fidium). I'm guessing I'll want my own router instead of using what they give me.

Interests:

1GB symmetrical speeds
Ability to block AD serving domains
Smooth online gaming as needed
Secure

Not up to speed on the newest technology or which router companies are best to buy from. House is single story about 1300sqft.

In the past I had a TP-Link Archer AC1750 but wished it had more advanced features.

Any recommendations or thoughts?

Do you have any PCs on-line 24/7 at a static IP on your LAN, such as a media server or NAS? If so, you can run AdGuard Home, to provide the adblocking you're looking for. It can act as the DNS server for your entire network.
