I already own a QNAP TVS-128T3 that has a 2 port 10GB NIC in I could add another and test it. My only issue was that it uses a fair amount of electricity sat on 24/7 so I thought a smaller dedicated router would be much more efficient to run.

And run OPNsense on the DIY router?

So I can see all your points. I suppose I wanted something I could buy where a lot of the hard work had already been done. I am not opposed to DIY builds at all but at the same time I don't want it to become my whole life! All I want is something that is rock solid at managing dual WAN to act...

Hi. So I currently have two WAN lines coming in and I have been using an ASUS wireless router for dual WAN. The dual WAN failover/load balance is not amazing so I am looking to replace with separate units. I have been looking at the TPlink Omada gear but I am a bit confused. It appears that...

Just looking at the TP-Link gear, looks pretty much like what I’m after. I could get one of the higher models then add the WiFi 7 APs down the line and sell the ASUS.

I suppose multi gig isn’t essential but for future proofing ideally 2.5gb ports would be a bonus. How much would i be looking to spend for that kind of unit, and would I keep using the ASUS for the WiFi etc and just use the new box in between the ASUS and the two WAN modems?

That's fine, so I can easily not bother sharing out my bandwidth, that was just another thought. So the failover did seem to work, if I turned off one of the modems it did failover then back again, it just seems like such a waste of a line. What would you recommend? doing the load balancing...

Hey, so I currently have the following set-up. One Virgin 1gb line which usually runs at 1.1gb and one Onestream 1gb line (Vodafone I believe). This was set up as failover on an ASUS GT-BE98. I thought it was a waste just having it set up as failover so I started using loadbalancing instead...

Hi all, I'm new here and after a bit of advice on a pretty complex question which could have a few possible solutions. I have Virgin fibre on their 1GB service which comes through the hub 5 in modem mode. I then have a QNAP TVS-128T3 that has 2 x 10gb ports and 4 x 1gb ports. I am running...
