Now that I have time for hobbies again I wanna dive right in to building up a home lab. Right now I just have a Netgear router that reached end of life, and a NAS i'd like to make accessible remotely, and a DIY router seems like the correct next step for me. I'm very interested in ad-blocking network wide and someday I'd like to host my own little webpage, but for now I'm really just barely getting started.

I'm information gathering, I don't know what I don't know and my networking skills are pretty weak anyway. But even if your needs and desires have nothing to do with mine, I also just like to hear people talk about their set ups. Please? 🌞

Thermals are pretty much ok as long as you dont have the cpu at 100% 24/7. I've never had it go over ~50°C in normal use in my basement. Not sure if it can handle gbit on 2 ports but Iperf between two vlans on the same NIC works flawlessly with lots of cpu to spare

Mine sits at around ~11W during normal usage (~40mbps into a wireguard tunnel)
