I suggest either Synology WRX560 or RT6600ax.

 

You can configure multiple networks with independent SSIDs, and they're really easy to use via browser or SSH.

Aaroona:

rscole86: A Topton N100 should do what you need. That's what I've ended up with after needing to replace an edgerouter, it has been rock solid. Tho I'm not doing gigabit (900/500).

Interesting - I am probably leaning towards this... I couldn't quite get clear on what storage options there are in this... Is it 2xM.2 slots? or 1xM.2 and 1xSATA?


My ideal config I think would have 2xM.2 and 2xMini pci-e (wifi + 4G/5G cards), but seems that config is considerably more expensive (and also not a requirement).





Also thanks for the other suggestions too - The Mikrotik stuff is interesting to me- I will play with the x86 appliance and see what its like. I got the WinBox client running no problems. But does seem to have a bit of a higher learning curve - plus won't have the flexibility of the x86 processor or 2.5Gbps ports (not an immediate problem, but thinking longevity). The wifi aspect would have been nice, but not a biggie for now.



Could you provide a link to this github? thank you.
