Looking at a Flint 4 because things are not costly enough as far as I am concerned. I have heard good things about the Asus Merlin firmware though and was wondering are there any upsides to either worth calling out?

There's a wide variety to choose from. Some are barebones with no ram/ssd. Some have 6x 2.5G others have spf+ for 10G or a combination. they're small, quiet, energy effecient, and made for being a router/firewall. There are other similar brands, but this will get you shopping in the right direction for what I was referring to. permalink fedilink source parent
