11 months agoI ended up buying a “mini-PC” as my router. It’s quite a bit over your budget, and you’d need an AP of some kind for WiFi. I run proxmox on it, and pipe the NICs through to my OpenWRT VM. The performance is great, and given it has 2.5gbps NICs, it’s somewhat future proof.

Nice, I went for Unifi for WiFi. I have two APs, and the controller runs on my Pi k8s cluster. They’re pretty great for gigabit speeds.
