Hi,
I'm in the process of giving my Asus Rt-N66U router the send off it deserves after a number of years of service. Therefore, I'm looking for a new router to replace it. I've currently got an old Acer Atom D525 machine with a Mini PCI-E twin gigabit network card running PfSense. However this machine has not been totally stable so far (and I can't get the lid on with the network card in the machine). Therefore I need to make some serious choices over what to go for as a full time replacement.
My requirements are
1) Able to cope with 30 plus devices (TVs, Internet Radios, Web Server, Internet heating system etc)
2) VLAN routing support (not totally essential but would be nice)
3) OpenVPN server (able to serve encrypted packets at over 20Mbits both ways)
4) Relatively low wattage.
5) Good support / regular updates to prevent exploits.
6) Not silly money
7) Internet connection is 60/20 connected to a BT Openreach VDSL modem.
Would a UBNT ER-4 fit the bill or is there something else that would be better? As far as I'm concerned, the Atom D525 machine is not a long term solution as it does not support AES-NI which I've heard will be a must have for the next version of PfSense.
Thanks
Higgles
