Thanks. Those do seem like a good option if Ubuntu works well on them and they're reliable. They claim to support full gigabit speeds on both NICs. It doesn't look like one can actually order the 4 GB model right now though.

4gb seems pretty much overkill for a router though. New release, so better to wait to see how something like armbian comes up on it: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/15932-nanopi-r4s/ https://forum.armbian.com/topic/15932-nanopi-r4s/ In general, if you're looking for semi-decent 'off-brand' SBCs, I think your best bet is to look at the armbian support: https://www.armbian.com/download/ https://www.armbian.com/download/ https://www.armbian.com/download/?tx_category=networking https://www.armbian.com/download/?tx_category=networking (this will not only see if there's a reasonable distro, but let you know if the support for the chip is in the mainline)

  Yeah 4 GB is definitely not required if you're just routing on your router. In my case, my router also runs various services. Thanks for those links!
