I thought I thanked you for this at the time, but it seems I didn't. Sorry about that. This post has been invaluable to me and has coloured how I've been aiming to build out my network. Thank you so much!

The OpenWRT one

sabreW4K3 OP , 4 months ago to homelab in Advice On Proposed Router Design

I was reading the comments on the OpenWRT forums about the new router, even the people there feel it’s underpowered.

If it can run OpenWRT and PiHole, I’ll be happy.

Bloody hell, thank you!

Just my RPi, hence the looking for another SBC to do the routing.

This post is tremendous, thank you.

I originally planned to go for an all in one, but then started finding cool stuff and it made sense to make it so I could swap out bits of the set-up without having to replace the whole thing.

OPNSense versus OpenWRT. I got lead astray! 😂 but seriously, everyone says that eventually everyone ends up running OPNSense anyway.

Regarding the Banana Pi, I was looking at them for ages and someone said to go for the NanoPi over it as the support on the software NanoPi is better.

Regarding the rest of you post, I’m still trying to digest it. Clicking links and reading stuff, but I wanted to thank you. Truly!

Fuck, I accidentally clicked this and was saving it in my inbox 😭

So you’d suggest the Orange Pi Plus?

Sorry, I’m a blank slate on this topic. I’m greedily trying to lap at the fountain of everyone else’s knowledge.

It’s ARM

According to this, seems to be limited to the speeds of the Ethernet port: superuser.com/…/wireguard-performance-on-linux-an…

A couple weeks ago, this was my plan.

I didn’t know RISC-V routers were a thing. There’s OPNSense support for RISC-V?

It’s a couple levels of power more than what I need for a router in my opinion.

According to the official website, it will officially have Android 12.0, Debian 11 and Buildroot support and will unofficially support Armbian, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04 and Kylin OS.

As for x86, I’d really like to try and avoid it for a router.
