Would an edge router lite be appropriate for home use with cable/DSL service? The specs are amazing for the price: 2GB flash, 512MB RAM, dual-core 500mhz CPU, 3x GbE.
I'd love to use something like this as my router/DHCP server and use my old routers and just AP access points in the house.
- windexh8er 12y agoYes - very much so. And if you're running an SOHO all-in-one today what most people don't realize is that all of those devices are underpowered for the features they run and the packet processing is the piece that takes the hit. You'll likely improve on latency numbers and just general performance from a network perspective. Splitting out good RF and a decent router are two things that people never seem to understand can make as big of a difference as it does until they do it. 6 months ago I would have told you the EdgeRouter needed some hard edges ironed out in software, but now it's rather functional. I use it for a lot of interop testing of OSPF and BGP with our product in my home lab.
