This is a great little wired ethernet router. but skip if you are not familiar with networks.

This is a great little wired ethernet router. However, skip it if you are not familiar with networks or have an admin friend who can help you. I bought it to replace an old Pentium 4 (yes, P4) running its own Linux firewall distribution. The old machine had a hardware failure so I need something makeshift to replace it. I already use a Mikrotik wireless hotspot so I think for the price it's a win-win. In a word, it's reliable, it works and I don't plan to change it. It only has 10/100 wired ethernet ports, which is fine in my scenario, but you can get the Mikrotik hEX version (not lite) if you need 10/100/1000 ports.

Pros
