Howdy all,
I'm [possibly] in the market for a new router. Originally, I was planning on just running m0n0wall on an Alix board I have sitting around. I'm not against this, just exploring my options.
Basically, as far as features go, the must-haves are VPN, QoS and VLAN support. There will only ever been a maximum of 1 VPN connection. I am looking for a fun toy however, and I do want something I can learn on and play around with. I'm no networking expert, but I'd say I have above-average knowledge.
I originally saw the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite, but have been told by others it's not really suited for home use. The RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN looks interesting as well, and the integrated WiFi is neat, but I've heard mixed reviews about it, and don't know much about RouterOS.
I'm just looking for suggestions in the $100-$150 range. If my best option right now would just to be sticking with the Alix/m0n0wall, so be it.
Thanks,
- Jesse
