If I was going to do this today, I would probably get a GoWin R86S-N with the N100 or N305 cpu (since the 10G Fiber Jack has a 10GbE port, this should be fine. The NICs on this device can't negotiate 2.5Gb or 5Gb links) and set it up with OPNSense. Since you're not going to saturate the 10Gb links, you should be fine for most networking tasks. For wifi, I'd probably get the TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro.
I think I like this option the best. I’ve got a month before I get back home and have the fiber installed and the shipping from Ali express lines up.
Ended up buying this, arrived this week, and have it all setup. Was pretty simple to get it configured. Now just need to wait another week for google fiber to be installed.
Keep us posted!
It has been a bit over 3 weeks and everything has been really smooth. I forgot to mention last time but I got the R86S-N with the N305. This was due to research showing that the N100 would not be able to hold 5gbits throughput and I wanted to have some wiggle room in case I upped the number of firewall rules.
Getting consistent 5.5gbits down, 5.6gbits up on speed tests. Steam download peaks at 213MiB/s and holds around 190MiB/s(but this could be the max I can get from steam🤷).
No issues with the R86S-N, no random reboots or forced reboots. Opnsense install was quick and didn't cause issues.
That's great! Glad it's working out.
