    +1 for RB260GSP. The hex does not natively support VLANs and you need to enable bridge filtering for VLAN functions. It is little complicated than the simple configuration in the RB260

    FS: Networking Ubiquiti Edgerouter lite

    Selling my Erlite-3 router as i am not using it these days. The inbuilt USB drive went bad, replaced with a 4 GB drive and the original power adapter failed, replaced with another adapter. This is not a wireless router and it is not easy to configure compared to a typical home router. Please...

    Raspberry Pi as a router

    Pi-hole is running in an lxc container. I was not able to run lxc with the Rpi image from Openwrt provided image. I had to compile Openwrt from sources. Once lxc is functional, you can pipe the pi-hole installation script. Networking is a bit tricky, but can be done. There are lots of resources...

    Raspberry Pi as a router

    Just finished setting up Raspberry Pi4 as router running Openwrt. The wireless is handled by a proper wifi router. The setup has pi-hole running in lxc as well. For those who have a Pi lying around (Pi3 also will do) can give it a try

    Windows Software recommendation for network monitoring?

    Zeek is a well known network monitoring system. You can feed it the flow information by mirroring the appropriate ports of your router with interesting traffic. It works nice on a raspberry pi. Beware, compiling it on pi will take quite some time

    The Raspberry Pi Thread

    I followed the instructions here for my Raspberry Pi 4 heating issue. The fan comes on when the temps exceed 62 and switches off at 50. This can be changed in the config files to your requirements. The circuit is very simple with just 1 transistor, diode and resistor. Without speed control the...

    help me build most secured Home Network to last a decade.

    I suggest you go with a cheap Mikrotik HAP AC lite first and see if it suits your requirements and is easy enough for you to manage. If that works for you, then go for the RB4011 etc. As somebody mentioned in the thread already its got a steep learning curve

    The Raspberry Pi Thread

    The Pi4 needs a fan to keep it from throttling. The small fans available are noisy, especially when everything else is quiet. Some simple circuit and code is available if you search the internet to keep things sane

    help me build most secured Home Network to last a decade.

    RB750Gr3 - If you want to do VLANs, it is slightly complex as it lacks a proper switch chip. It can be done but not straightforward. Also note that it can do hardware forwarding only on one bridge. If you create another bridge you dont get hardware acceleration. Other than that it is a stellar...

    help me build most secured Home Network to last a decade.

    Look at mikrotik routers and access points. They are very flexible and most things can be achieved by using the gui. Setup Pi-hole and vpn services if worried about security. It is preferable to do these in small steps. It will be difficult to get everything done in one go In Openwrt you can do...
