@koakuma I never used this one because I realized they hadn't implemented the software(?) fastpath for... I think it was 4in6 tunneling? And that would've meant no line rate 1G routing for my internet...
The ER-X is more of an L3 switch in that regard and can handle the fastpath in some kind of configurable hardware thing including the 4in6. It was my main home router for many years until I moved and upgraded to 10G ^^
@lina I... bought it just because it is a MIPS and it is said that those boxes can be convinced into running a normal desktop Unix; I've never used it to actually route things around
I mean a gigabit router feels way too overkill when the ISP only gives some 20-ish Mbits/s 
@koakuma I had gigabit at my last place and I have 10gig now so... ^^;;
But yes they can run normal Unix stuff! ^^
β@lina
It's in it's name -_-
I have one of them.

Ours has a big BlΓ₯haj sticker on it, might grab a picture later :)
@meowki Routers like this one don't really get remote security vulns very often. There isn't much attack surface pre authentication.
It's not like consumer routers that have a ton of services and questionable automatic firmware update and phone home features and messy web APIs and all that.
