[Guide] What equipment to buy for Sonic 10 Gigabits Fiber

[panman59]

I am utilizing the 10GB port directly into my AT&T Fiber port.

I Backbone the other ASUS router from the front of my house with ethernet cable to the 2.5 port to the other ASUS router in my family room that is Hooked up to the 10.5 GB port to AT&T fiber. I run 2 separate Wifi Networks.

I can confirm netgear pr60x works well at 10g, full dpi at 10g, an support for all the standard vpn tech needed to connect to corporate networks.

A friend who works for Akamei suggested I get the MicroTik RB4011:

For about $210, plus maybe $50 for a 10 Gbps SFP+ adapter for the WAN port. The specs look pretty nice for that price.

If you're looking at MikroTik, consider the RB5009 series:

https://mikrotik.com/product/rb5009upr_s_in
which are new design with more NAND storage, same RAM, 64bit CPU with similar base pricing.
RB5009 has one 2.5G port, seven 1G ports; RB4011 has ten 1G ports; both have one SFP+.
Published test results suggest RB5009 outperforms RB4011 routing small packets.
IPSec encryption is where the RB4011 outshines the RB5009.
