I recently obtained a Dell t620 that I’ve rack mounted, and I’m using to upgradey homelab. I’m also thinking I should upgrade my routernsince I’m having to reconfigure a lot with the new server(I have a 12 year old Netgear wireless router).

Any recommendations for a rack mounted router?

    I’m running OPNsense on a Dell PowerEdge R210 II that I bought used. It’s been running great for 2 years or so. I’ve really liked OPNSense.

      On the exact same setup! it runs really well.

      Forgot to mention that before I got the R210 II, I had a Ubiquiti Unifi USG-PRO-4. It worked okay but the hardware is pretty low end. You get a nice pretty UI and many more options/configuration compared to a consumer router, but it’s hamstrung compared to what you can do with OPNsense/pfSense IMO.

        I ended up finding an old 5 GB sophos router that I was able to flash pfSense onto, it’s not rack mounted, but was way cheaper than spending $500 on a ubiquiti… I like it so far, but need to do more testing
