I happily used PCEngines's older stuff for at least ten years ending about two years ago, when I wound up getting a $60 Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter X and shoehorning WRAP onto it. That's been working great for me since, though the less powerful box means I can't do as much with it.
Having multiple NICs is critical for me. It's why a Raspberry Pi won't cut it, and why, in fact, there aren't many affordable hardware choices out there. I think the best advice for choosing a router platform is to decide what software you want to run and then figure out what hardware supports it best. If all you need is an WAN-facing Ethernet NIC and LAN-facing WiFi radio, you have a lot of choices. --Eric -- My g-bike can trounce your e-bike! _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
