So now I'm thinking about toying with OpenWRT now

So now I'm thinking about toying with OpenWRT now

Use it for my switches/AP devices.  I like it since they they made the GUI official on it.

I replaced my router with a Beelink EQ12, added 32GB RAM and thrown proxmox on it, it has 2 x 2.5Gbps NIC's so LACP'ed it to my core mikrotik and seems to be running great to be fair. Installed opnsense it and moved my routing over to it.

Excellent, at least in your case you getting good offers.

That pfSense unit you got should handle it easily, VM use IPoE which is nice and lightweight.

That's what I thought, and it has 2.5Gbps ports, so I should get maximum speed, although I've just realised I'd need to connect it to my 10Gb switch, currently its on the 1Gb switch.

Well I finally got my upgrade to 1 Gig, not sure if they made a mistake with the offer, as I heard no more after the initial email. After a week I posted on the VM forums, and someone actioned my order.

As of this evening:

Gotta love that over-provisioning.

Guessing you was already on a hub5 then?

[Ronski]

No, I was on Hub 3.

[Chrysalis]

How did you get over gigabit throughout then? O_o

[Ronski]

They sent me a Hub 5, plugged it in to 2.5Gb ports on my PfSense box, then to my 10Gb switch 

I was on a Hub 3 and am now on a Hub 5.

[Chrysalis]

Gotcha, nice bonus you on the best hub now then.

[doofus]

Great result, well done!

Why do people need 1gbps download speed? I have 150mbps and I consider it adequate.

Genuine question, by the way.
