Comment on Router for multigig internet

Use a old PC with Pfsense, Opnsense, or OpenWRT, as you can buy a MELLANOX CONNECTX-3 for like $25 on ebay, and you can get a Good AP that supports OpenWRT for like $70-$100, and a a switch for like $120 that has one 10Gb in and one 10Gb out with 4-8 2.5Gb ports. I do recommended Opnsense then you can have IPS etc. docs.opnsense.org/manual/ips.html

This is a good idea, just be aware you’re going to pay a premium to power an old pc compared to an embedded system

The power cost to run some systems 24/7 is like $10-$50+ a year.
