I have been looking at replacing my L3 switch at the gateway of my network & the OPNsense DEC850 seems to have all the features I want, mainly, vlans, 10 GB wan, multiple 2.5 GB lan, & open firmware. Does anyone have experience with this router/ are there better routers out there that do similar setups? I have experience with Cisco hardware and am willing to learn new syntax so I am not too worried about the CLI, but I heard that opnsense's docs are a bit thin.

But please don't use OPNsense as a switch.

Could you elaborate, why is it bad as a switch?
