Hi,
I have FTTH 1Gbps internet connection. Currently I am using Asus n66u router with Merlin firmware.
I would like to create a VLAN to separate my less secure devices and guest network from my internal devices.
AFAIK Asus router supports Merlin, ddwrt and tomato. Merlin has hardware nat acceleration support but not VLAN support.
In addition to that I would like to switch from wireless router to wired router + access point(s) model.
I found following options:
1. Mikrotik RB2011UiAS-IN
According to their documentation it supports FastTrack (which as I understand is hardware nat acceleration) and can VLAN frames.
It also have SFP cage so I could connect the fiber directly to it.
2. Ubiquity EdgeRouter Poe-5
The specification mentions 1 million pps and it should route 1Gbps (page with tests).
It has Poe so the Access Point can be powered by it.
ER-X-SFP looks more tempting (has SFP), but according to this thread it will not route 1Gbps obver NAT.
For the reference:
it will be used with Ubiquity UAP-AC.
I know that to have hardware NAT support I need to switch off QoS and other packet filtering mechanisms. What about VLANs? Is it possible to have both - VLAN and fast NAT?
