Hi all, I’m looking to upgrade my router from the default one that came from my ISP.
I don’t need anything super fancy, just something with 4+ lan ports (1gbps is ok, 2.5gbps would be nicer), 1 WAN Port, Wifi-6 (802.11ax), and the ability to have an isolated IoT network (using a vlan for this would be nice).
Any suggestions? I’d like to keep the price down if possible. This is just for my home network.
Could always whitebox it with Debian, nftables, dnsmasq, hostapd, etc. on an old mini PC if it has two NICs…
I’d replace Debian with openbsd. That’s my go to solution for labs at work.
At home I use a ubiquity thingy (the round box) as I used ubiquity at my previous work. It’s utter shit and the UI goes dead a few days after each hard reset. But it works and I use Tailscale for connecting to stuff at home, so no need to replace it yet
Or run x86 OpenWRT of you want a nice UI. Works wonderfully. It lacks A/B boot but it’s fairly easy to implement on your own
