I actually mentioned the DEC750 the other day in another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31451142 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31451142 I forgot to mention the linked review that this post is around. Though it was probably the most detailed one I found at the time prior to purchasing my DEC750 from Deciso's OPNSense shop (https://shop.opnsense.com https://shop.opnsense.com) I picked one up a few months ago as part of my attempt to overhaul my home network so I don't have to care again for a decade. Currently complemented by a "L3" 24-port Ubiquiti PoE+ switch (twelve 1GbE, twelve 2.5GbE, two SFP+) and an "L3" 32-port Ubiquiti SFP+/SFP28 switch. The hope is as DOCSIS 4.0 rolls out I'll get more value out of using SFP+ for a WAN port. Grabbed a Micron MTA18ADF2G72AZ (16GB DDR4-2666 ECC VLP U-DIMM) to never have to care about memory. Ever. All the Suricata and CrowdSec rules in the world. Also grabbed an Edimax N150 WiFi 4 USB adapter. This uses a RealTek RTL8188EUS chipset, which is extremely well supported by FreeBSD's urtwn(4) driver. So I use that to automatically do WAN failover to my iPhone 11 Pro as a hotspot if the cable itself went down. Rock. Solid. And per my PDU, really just sits at 8-9W. If my experience with this is anything like my experience with FreeBSD (limited) over the past 25 years, I expect the only downtime will be when I move house.
