Currently I have bonded ADSL2+, with the ISP supplied modem bridged to my RouterOS box.
The DSL Sync speed is
42Mbit/s downstream
4.6Mbit/s upstream
Currently running routerOS 5.7RC7 Demo (l1) on an Alix 2D3 (X86 500mhz Geode, 128mb cf card 256mb ram)
Also doing IPv6 tunnelling via HE.net and have various Rules configured in the firewall including anti P2p/L7 rules (Mangle rule adds you to an address list with triggers another ruleset that blocks everything execpt http/https for 10mins)
The Alix is handling the throughput fine although I want to upgrade routerOS to L4 to use Radius and define some traffic shaping queues.
So the question I wanted to ask is do I licence X86 on an Alix (I've got another alix with a 2GB cf card in that currently has pfSense on it, if I was going to buy routerOS X86 i'd wipe that one and put it on there instead just to be sure I don't run out of space on the CF card)
Or would I be better off just buying a router board and if so which one?
Was looking at the 750/750G or 450 but not sure if they'd be powerful enough once I start adding Traffic queues, radius.etc
