I freakin love OpenWRT. I used it for a solid 5-6 years on some consumer grade routers and learned a lot about managing networks.

Ive since moved to more powerful enterprise network gear because OpenWRT opened that door for me and taught me what is possible. I might not ever go back to it, but I will always recommend OpenWRT to people who want to rice out their routers and get the most out of it.

As a home user, what additional feature have you found useful on enterprise networking equipment?

  Its more about the hardware than software.
  
  Able to have enough processing power to utilize the max speed that my ISP provides, while having IDS/IPS and other services enabled.
  
  Port segregation so that each port can be on its own network with a full speed backplane.
  
  PoE capabilities
  
  SPF ports to utilize both fiber and copper connections

    Thanks for that list. No need here for more advanced hardware so I’ll have to put off networking upgrades until I can come up with a reason to justify it.
