    Any chance you have a spare computer? You can easily salvage one if it has a PCIe x16 and put in a dual 2.5 GbE (or faster) NIC. Then install pfSense or OPNsense. This is what I did with an Intel Ivy Bridge system (4-core, 8GB RAM, SSD). For wireless just get a business-line AP (access point) from Netgear, TP-Link, Ubiquiti.

  • core

    OPNsense GUI, API and systems backend (by opnsense)
