[ale] Microtik vs Ubiquiti vs DIY router...go

[Sam Rakowski]

+1 for pc-engines gear. I bought an apu2d4 for pfSense, and not two weeks later could I resist getting another apu2d4 as a WiFi AP/general linux box. (according to the pc-engines site, the miniPCI-E WLAN NIC is not supported by pfSense, so I was completely forced to buy another :) There simply was no other way!)

I like to explain them to other people as useful anytime you'd want a raspberry pi/similar SBC, except with an actual x86_64 processor. For small/auxiliary daemons that don't quite merit their own VM, etc.

Buy directly from PCEngines.ch and save the 25% markup.
The nice thing about Netgate is they have packaged deals that include
everything. Is that worth the extra cost?  Only you can decide.

I've purchased from netgate and been happy.
I've also been part of a group purchase (Hey Phil!), about 4 yrs ago
directly to PCEngines. Shipping of both was similar time.
I'd look at this: https://pcengines.ch/apu4c4.htm today.
I have an APU2c4. Very happy. Runs pfSense, but can run any OS that
doesn't require a GPU.
