Hi, I am looking for a router capable of as close as possible to line speed gigabit NAT.
No need for VPN, etc.
Just to sit between my office equipment and rest of LAN.
Hardware must be small form factor desktop, or 1U rack.
Hardware must be low noise, fan-less if possible.
Hardware must be low heat.
No need for multiple ports, single WAN and single LAN is ok, routing is done by switch.
I tried some hardware running pfSense, but even with dual core D525 I can’t get close to gigabit speed.
I found some posts that introduce me to MicroTik, so here I am.
I looked at RouterBOARD options, there are so many to choose from.
What would you recommend in a small desktop form factor, and in 1U form factor?
Thank you
P.
