It amazes me that onion sites aren't everywhere. They are easy to spin up, you don't have to pay anything and can run it from your own home. No need to purchase a domain, worry about expiration, have an open port. Built-in DoS protection. Anonymity and authentication by default. No need to configure HTTPS. Sure, uptime is on you and there is some latency/bandwidth limits to be considered, but once you are over that, onions are a solution to many problems and the benefits are enormous.

Would that mean just an extra router + WiFi using the same ISP?

There are many ways to do it with varying levels of security, but an extra router/firewall would be preferable, yes. And yes using the same ISP.
