Hi all,

I'm slowly moving into the self hosted mindset specially for privacy, security and sailing the high seas. This community has been invaluable but I'd like to know which routers you use that fit well with this and plays nice with the services we're hosting.

I'm mostly thinking about wifi support, openwrt, vpn (not a hard requirement), vlans, etc. I know probably a networking community would be a better place for this question, but I think this might be useful for other "self-hosters"

I'm using a thinclient (Fujitsu S920), slapped an Intel Pro/1000 NIC in there and installed opnsense. Hardware cost for both used was around €80. Wifi is handled by a TP-Link access point.

It's a big boy router/firewall, and it's been quite a learning experience but very fun.

Same. Quad port Intel NIC.

There are some subtile differences that are good to know when looking for one on the second hand market: https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/demystifying-intel-pro-1000-quad-port-nics/2401

Thanks, good info. Never had any problems with pfsense or opnsense with Intel server NICs personally. Other than being fried.
