Looking for a 10Gbps wired router

[Aqualung]

I have been looking at this: https://mikrotik.com/product/ccr2004_1g_12s_2xs#fndtn-specifications for a new wired router. Will this deliver better wired routing speeds than ASUS's GT-BE98 PRO? It's certainly older than the ASUS.

I have a few Netgate 6100 appliances for business use. For home use you can build your own router/firewall cheaper. It can be much faster than all of the mentioned so far hardware. For true 10GbE processing better go with high clock x86 CPU and pfSense/OPNsense OS.

Thanks, I have, indeed, been thinking about building my own router, though I am having trouble finding a barebone computer that is small enough to hang onto a wall where my present router resides. Recommendations welcome.

Recommendations welcome.

Perhaps nothing with 10GbE ports and true 10Gbps capable hardware inside will be small enough.

Yeah, that is, indeed, what I was afraid of. I might need to build an actual tower.

There are M2/10ge adapters now that you can get and they're small where you just mount the port to the backside of the case.

Spec-wise, the 322 sounds AMAZING! EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Reviews on Amazon, however, are a downer. I will, nevertheless, order one asap, and test it.

Excellent find! Many thanks for the recommendation!!!

Well, at least it's not a DIY piece of kit and it comes with support.

These guys did a "review" a year and a half ago.

Thanks, I saw that review. It's more of an unboxing and a parade of specs rather than an actual "put it through its paces" kind of thing. I would have loved to see a few benchmarks, to see if it indeed delivers on the promised 10Gbps throughput (or something close). Anyway I have already ordered one. Will keep you posted. I am currently looking closely at the EAP783 for an access point to accompany the 322, and let me know if you have any thoughts about that.

Thanks again!
