A third recommendation: a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 and a carrier board that adds a second Ethernet port make a pretty good platform to run OpenWRT. The CPU and memory on the CM4 will blow the doors off of most of the routers you'd likely buy for home use, and I suspect they're competitive with nearly anything short of rack-mountable enterprise-grade routers. The onboard WiFi (on models so equipped) probably isn't so hot, but it's a solid option for wired connections up to at least gigabit speeds and WiFi can be provided with a separate access point or a USB dongle. -- _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( https://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet? --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3) .
