Comment on Best secure router for home use?
dan@upvote.au 1 year agoMy TP-Link ER8411 can’t be flashed with OpenWRT even though their software is based on a very old version of it. :(
I have 10Gbps internet and can’t find any 10Gbps routers that support custom firmware. Building a pfSense system that supports 10Gbps would be much more expensive and use more power than a router that has a purpose-built SoC.

Have you thought about getting something like this?

I don’t have space for full-depth rackmount hardware - I just have a small shallow networking rack.
From the video, it sounds like this device can’t actually achieve 10Gbps in real life. At 46:44 in the video, he says that he got 6.5Gbps with the firewall enabled and one firewall rule, and at 47:15 he said that NAT download speed (i.e. what you’d experience with an actual internet connection) was only 4.2Gbps.
I get full speed through my ER8411, and it was cheaper than this device too ($350). I’m annoyed by a lack of IPv6 features, but it does achieve full 10Gbps speeds at least.

Ah, that’s kinda terrible, too bad
