    Isolated Guest router/network setup on existing network

    In that case the main router may be assigning a default gateway to the third router and the mode of the third router is NAT gateway. To solve this you will need to disable NAT and set static IP for the WAN interface of the third router. You will need to add static route on the main router...

As you are new to Linux it is better to have both for a while and when you are comfortable with Linux, remove Windows. One important difference in Linux is the way the filesystem works, it doesnt have c: drive...

    PC Peripherals Intel Quad NIC availability

    I have 2 wan connections, 150 Mbps and 60 Mbps. I use the single integrated Realtek NIC with VLANs for all my LAN and WAN. With 200 Mbps WAN bandwidth there is no need of such expensive hardware. If you have plans to upgrade bandwidth above 500 Mbps, then ok. I use Opnsense btw

    This is the best wireless router available in that budget. A friend as well as my neighbor uses this and I am yet to hear a complaint. My neighbor has dual FTTH and HAP ac2 is configured to load balance the connections. The WiFi range is also very good

    Raspberry Pi as a router

    I dont have any experience with ceiling mounted APs. I would advise to try re-puposing the existing routers as AP and see if they are good enough. If not try to get pre-owned stuff in reasonably good condition. Instead of getting a high cost single router / AP, buy 2 or 3 and place them...

    Raspberry Pi as a router

    The same reason forced me to try out this setup You can very well do it without usb adapters if you have vlan capable switch. In typical home network you are not likely to reach the point of bandwidth bottleneck. Even if you do, you can move the interface to a usb adapter then without major...

    ER-lite has Cavium propreitary offload and it is not supported under Openwrt. You can use software flow offloading though. As per the benchmarks available it should be able to do 400 Mbps symmetric without issues if you are not doing QoS. The ERx is based on MT7621 and hardware offloading...

    Two remote office ,Single tally server

    I had done L2 extension with Mikrotik EoIP over L2TP/IPSec for such a case and it is not something that I would consider a success. For unknown reasons file transfers across the EoIP tunnel is fast but Tally is abysmally slow for normal use.
