https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-lite/ It lacks good documentation; otherwise it's a great product. It's surprising that there are so few routers to choose from, even when you don't limit your selection to FOSS. On a side note, never buy Cisco, not even used: They won't let you download or otherwise obtain a replacement for the damaged firmware image (not to mention an update) that came which the device, unless you have a support contract with them. Without the firmware, the device is, of course, useless. No other, not even a cheap manufacturer like TP-Link --- who also makes great products and has a responsive support --- doesn't give you any issues like that while Cisco simply does not stand behind their products and lets their customers down.
