Router and ISP stuff

Sup. As I understand we need to flash router given by ISP with open-source firmware. We need this because with default firmware it’s easier to hack router.
So I want to ask what is safer:

  1. Change ISP router with a router that is flashed with open source firmware
  2. Change ISP router to a simple ethernet switch that is not configurable and do not have any settings 192.168.1.1

This, if you can replace it, since most of them have crappy HW anyway.
