I've been thinking about installing pfSense as a replacement for my home router. My Linksys router doesn't support features like PXE boot or multiple SSIDs. (I might segregate IoT devices and the guest Wi-Fi doesn't count.) I know that I could do a lot of interesting things with root access to a Linux box that sees all my traffic, BUT there's another aspect to the DHCP server in Linksys Smart Wi-Fi that I've never seen anywhere else.

There's a GUI full of tiles with names and icons that I can edit! I've been into the sysadmin space for years and I've managed DHCP on Windows Server, Netgear, D-Link, you name it. Linksys Smart Wi-Fi has the only DHCP server I know of where your DHCP management doesn't look like a spreadsheet. Am I wrong?

It's very fancy: http://screenshots.portforward.com/routers/Linksys/EA4500_-_Smart_Wi-Fi/Device_List.jpg

Even a proxy DHCP server wouldn't solve all my problems. It might just be that I have to decide if I really need fancy front-end features or powerful back-end features. Can I get functionality like this from ANY Linux or Windows server?
