Currently looking for a router with the following points
- sfp ports for fiber connection (we have fiber internet)
- should be possible to use a wireguard on the router, since would like to use for our smart tv.
- would like to run some small containers (pihole and maybe some network scanner)
The R3 looks pretty cool specially, since WiFi is built in and there are deals with case and antennas. I don’t know of 2gb of RAM would be sufficient to run openwrt + some containers.
The New R4 will have double the RAM, but at least on first glance it looks, like a WiFi extension has to be bought. Also I guess it will me more expensive.
What do you folks think? Should I wait for the R4 or buy one of those package deals including antennas and metal?
Bonus Question: what sfp modules do you use for fiber connection?
My ISP (Bezeq, in Israel) has a list of approved SFP modules, and they can supply the modules themselves, but there’s no issue using your own router with their SFP module
Of course this will differ with your provider, you should check with them, though be aware the level 1 customer service reps might not know what you’re talking about
