My Homelab currently consists of 3 Mini PC’s and will eventually be put in a 10" rack
They are all just plugged into the router my ISP provided, I’d like to get a new router that runs open-source software and create a new network from it. I have no idea where to begin.
What hardware would you recommend?
Bonus: If possible I’d like to in the future attach a sim card to my network as a backup for the occasion that the ISP connection drops. (just a nice to have)
OpenWRT on a 5009? Why? You’ll lose the switch/cpu integration and a whole lot of speed, not to mention features…
The op mentioned wanting open source. Just providing information and it got me curious.
Oh, OK. I moved to mikrotik 8 years ago and haven’t looked back.
