Build your own, you can't buy a consumer router to do this. Make sure to get a mini-PC with SFP+ slots so you can use a 10GBASE-T module to match to the Sonic ONT.

Yes you can:

But for under $400 on a platform capable of running SNORT?

I'm glad to know that a mini PC can handle this! Does the mini PC have an Atom with hardware acceleration (QAT), or is it some other CPU? What NIC does it use?

you can't buy a consumer router to do this.

Not sure if you'd consider it a consumer router, but the TP-Link Omada ER8411 can handle the full 10Gbps. It was $350 when I bought it but it looks like it's $399 now.

It's a quad-core N100 @0.8GHz. I think it might be too slow for my needs, though. When I run transmission-daemon and remote connect from my laptop, which I haven't converted the lan yet to 10G on the few desktops I can upgrade, I can't get downloads faster than 65MB/s (~540Mb/s). CPU% usage of transmission-daemon is ~25%, so that's one core at max. I can't tell the spread using top, though. I think I should have chosen the i3 N305 for the extra $130. I thought it was a disk speed limit at first and tried switch to the main SSD over the external raid5 disk array over e-SATA, but it made no change. I can't tell for sure, but I appear to be CPU bound, not net or disk. I ran speedtest while the test torrent ran and got this:

I haven't finished my "move in" yet and have numerous services to add such as Immich and Fossil for the projects I do.

It's a shame about the China tarrif fiasco :/

I just bought this about three weeks ago and now it is unavailable. But do get the i3 N305 if you plan on running transmission-daemon. There is plenty of muscle for SNORT with the N100.

[davygrvy]

it has two NICs. The second is 2.5Gbe. The lspci report is:

Daniel,

Maybe I'm just fooling myself.. My laptop connected off Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) at 780/650 (Mbps) does that same test torrent with transmission locally and barely breaks 12MB/s.

Also, the built-in graphics with 2 HDMI ports is Intel and probably not compatible with libcuda. Not that there a build of CUDA or OpenVINO for OpenWRT, but I was wondering with regards to setting up a docker app that uses AI on photos.
