The same is true for routers that offer anti-virus/security software as an add-on feature. In these cases, we can never be sure what data the router is sending back to the vendor.

Too many routers, such as Eero and Google Wifi, require you to establish an account with the router vendor. Also, it does not require you to join anything. The reason for my being interested in the Omnia is that the software is open source and security was a selling point. As of June 2021, it is available in the US from for $334.

The Omnia may have been the first router that self-updated its firmware. All their networking devices (Omnia, Mox and Shield) are made in the EU. The Omnia is made by CZ.NIC, a non-profit organization in the Czech Republic. The OS is called TurrisOS and it is based on OpenWRT. It is fully open source, both the hardware and software. The Turris Omnia may have been the first router sold for its security features. In June 2018, I was lent a Turris Omnia to kick the tires on. A brief summary is on the Secure Routers page. NOTE: In early September 2020, Turris released a new product, the Turris Shield. FYI: Try Turris Omnia, the open source router by Seth Kenlon of Red Hat.
