Best router for home use? (literature.cafe)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/selfhosted
 

I am planning to eventually build my own home server, and when I do I will hook it up via ethernet. But I do want to switch away from the generic FIOS router and use my own for more control over my data and security. Any recommendations?

Thank you! Seems like its unavailable in Europe unless you pay a hefty premium.

There are many similar. The best is GoWin R86S

Fujitsu Futro S720 with a 90° 4x PCI adapter and an Intel NIC. It consumes about 6W (maybe something more with the additional NIC). You can get the former for about 20/30€ on eBay and the rest for about 30/40€. If you have a VLAN enabled switch, you can even just use the onboard Ethernet port.
