For anyone looking into this, I recommend picking up a “network appliance” PC. They’re low-spec, often fanless, and come with 4 Ethernet ports. You can often get them for roughly the same price as a router. You will need to provide your own WiFi AP with this method.

On Linux you can just turn the kernel into a router with a few commands. Its actually very cool.

It’s also true for every mainstream operating system.

Hmmm… so if you install a router os on a pc that’s made outside the US, will that make you a criminal?
