What is the best hardware for a home router? Soekris was very popular in the past but I'm wondering that maybe there's cool hardware out there.
I also wonder if carpd is usable with a DHCP connection.
- aflott 13y agoWhile may not be the best, but with no moving parts Alix boards are quite nice. http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d3.htm http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d3.htm
- sramov 13y agoSoekris now has new models with Intel Atoms, top quality stuff as always (old ones are rock solid too, if a bit dated). I went with ALIX instead as I had a local distributor so it was quite a bit cheaper. Plenty fast for now, too.
- sramov 13y agoAlso, there are some nice fanless Mini-ITX boards out there with dual gigabit, which is all you need (plus a case for a board and a switch, of course). M350 enclosure is popular and cheap. It goes without saying such box will smoke anything you can buy of-the-shelf. Hell, even the anemic ALIX Geode gave a nice boost to my home network over the crappy Linksys I had previously (things are now snappy and 100% stable).
