Anyone tried this 4x 10gbe + 5x 2.5gbe router? (forums.servethehome.com)

Very solid price, the cheapest I've seen for something like this. Has anyone tried it with OPNsense or other software?

The linked thread talks about someone getting 60C load temps but the air was 37C and they are using a RJ45 DAC which are known to use lots of power.

Wondering if anyone else has experience with this. Seems like a big advancement in what's possible at a home scale for non second hand equipment.

That's pretty much exactly what this device is supposed to do. But just to be clear, any computer with a NIC (ethernet port) can be a router.

Do make a useful router for your home, you need a Intel or AMD CPU (x86) and 2 NICs.

This device is specifically designed for someone who wants to setup 10gbe networking.

You also need software.

OPNsense is a great example of software like this. Many home labbers use something like OPNsense installed on a device such as this for their router.

Thank you for the detailed response! I'm going to give it a try! This will be a step up from OpenWRT on a cheap router, I'll bet!
