This looks like a great chance to ask: Besides the ODROID-Hn series, what other single-board computers have dual ethernet? Very few, AFAICT. For router use-case, the alternatives suggested (buy an older NUC, for instance) don't work.

    Oh nice, those are a good deal. Looks like the cheapest board with RK3588S announced yet, and with all that ethernet to boot! Those were just launched a couple of days ago, looks like.

Why wouldn’t a NUC work? I have a fanless Zoltac with dual nics. I use it as a media PC , but presumably it would work fine as a router. A cursory glance at Zoltac’s page shows they still produce a variety of new configurations.

Look around at STH forums. There are a bunch of jasperlake products with 4x or 6x 2.5 Gbe. This is one such seller: www.loksing.com.cn . You can also find them on aliexpress.

  Nice recommendation. An example I found is barebones N5105 system with 4x 2.5 Gbe for ~$163 shipped. [1] I could source 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 SO-DIMM (using dual-channel is important) and 512GB M.2 NVMe for about $100 additional. 1: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003744743799.html

> For router use-case, the alternatives suggested Would you consider USB Ethernet adapters for the second port? Those cost about $15 (1 gigabit)
