Objet : Re: [44net] OT: Recommendations for a small to medium size router for a
multi-purpose repeater site
I would go with a small itx pc with dual gygabit nic
and a 4 port pcie gygabit nic. that give you 6 nic in a box.
Run this under Openwrt, or opensense or pfsense. You could even run miKrotiK OS
you can have a small ssd in there and 4 gig of ram to be sure all is ok and this setup
would be able to do all of your need and even more.
Of course it also uses more power, and takes more effort to construct and install.
It can sometimes be useful to have more flexibility, but for general router usage it
usually is overkill.
Those MikroTik boxes work after unpacking and some basic config tasks. However you can
still spend hours and hours
to make them do a lot more :-)
