Hi all, As part of my gateway setup I am looking to get rid of my BT Home hub (which I am having to use with DMZ turned on) and put in an inexpensive but more capable router. So I was looking for peoples thoughts on either Microtik or Ubiquiti Edge routers. Is either particularly better suited? Kind Regards Marc (2W0PNT)
+1 for mikrotik. As routers go, they are the best quality for the price Ubiquity routers are not bad, but I find them somewhat simple and too few options for my liking. Although I do have one at a customer site and for non tech ppl they rock

Marc,
I use Mikrotik routers for every installation I do. I have just started working on connecting it to amprnet. I prefer Mikrotik over Ubiquiti.
Hope that helps. Let's see what other people say.

I use the PC Engines APU2C2 personally. They are standard quad core x86 architecture with 2GB RAM so you can run bog standard Linux (Centos being my preference). They have three gigabit NICs and you can add an internal wifi card if required. They run off 12volts and don't need any fans. The BIOS firmware is open source (coreboot).
I've found them to be very reliable, reasonably priced and my company currently has 58 units deployed at various remote sites around the UK.
