Not my kit here... But...
About 20 years ago (in college, of course) I ran OpenBSD on an UltraSparc 5 as our network router.
We had hundreds of meters of Ethernet cable running across the house and out through the windows - by way of a LinkSys switch - as it was the most "economical" route for the network.
WiFi back then was new, expensive, and comparatively slow. Sub 9ms ping is what we needed for gaming, and 54mbit wasn't gonna do it.
I worked hard on the firewall rules, and it had zero downtime, felt like a real sysadmin.
Maybe I was.
