Currently deciding between Fujitsu Futro S920 with intel quad NIC and Intel N100 Celeron router from Aliexpress.
Looking to spend around 80-150€. I live in EU so something that either ships from EU or china.
Any input is appreciated.
I bought a HP elitedesk G3 800 mini pc and managed to install an ‘M2 to ethernet card’ in the wifi port. Avoid HP G2 mini as they have a capacitator too close to the M2 wifi slot.
It’s a bit macgyvering to secure it to the rear of the chassis though. You’ll need 2 longer nvme screws and some hard plastic to secure it to the mobo.
With your only requirement being gig ethernet. There should be some options in your price range.
Maybe you can still get your hands on a PCengines APU 3/4? They are sadly discontinued, but great for what you want.
Have you looked ad EdgeRouters by Ubiquity? Nice units and configure like VyOS.
