It's obviously supposed to route between your existing home network / existing router and the internet as a security layer that wasn't backdoored by the NSA in some chink factory

this
I run pfsense on an old dual-core pentium. doesn't require me to buy a USB ethernet adapter, either.
I'm not using anything as a router unless it has 2 gigabit intel NIC's
I'm using mine as a VPN Gateway / router and Firewall
Bought a cheap USB-Ethernet-port, anything that goes in on one end comes out of an an anonymous russian server on the other end
Pretty neat, I've never trusted running openvpn as software on the machine itself since closed source systems like windows could simply bypass it on a systems level
>>53639529
aren't pi made in chinkshit factory though?
>>53639674
Nah, they're made in the UK
And even if they were, they are so common that the few binary blobs it uses have been thoroughly analyzed

A router is supposed to route between two networks, in this case the internet and your homenetwork
Please elaborate how 100mbit on a 480mbps bus are not enough for that task

Not him, but I have 150 Mbit/s DL on my ADSL line.

there are plenty of single board computers with usb 3
>>53640088
Using a USB3 adapter ensures that the USB port is the bottleneck and the adapter is not.
>>53640092
>what is bandwidth--delay product
Anyway, I don't understand why you would want to buy a $150 device only to bog it down when you instead could just use an old computer and buy a $50 multi-port NIC.
>>53640141
>USB2 adapters are unable to achieve USB2 bandwidth
>>53639533
This
>>53640165
Many are. Just because the theoretical peak transfer speed is 480Mb/s doesn't mean that all adapters fully reach that speed. A USB3 adapter is obviously able to fully saturate a USB2 port.
There are many clones of the pi with various feature, does one with multiple network interfaces even exist?
>>53639480
SBCs are a ripoff. You think they're cheap as shit until you start adding on shit you need to actually make it function.
>>53640185
>Just because the theoretical peak transfer speed is 480Mb/s doesn't mean that all adapters fully reach that speed.
Because of protocol overhead.
>A USB3 adapter is obviously able to fully saturate a USB2 port.
You are retarded. An USB3 adapter will fall back to USB2 protocol and speeds.
That's the consequence of using a global bus clock.
>>53640203
I've been using my SBC for almost a year with nothing more than the hardware that came in the box. It's entirely dependent on what you use it for.
>>53640078
>attach more interfaces to the USB bus!
Nope.
Not even once.

1. I route gige at line speed.
2. You're not likely to see 100mbit from a USB network adapter because overhead and CPU load

Practical answer - it's not.
>>53640491
>Technical answer - 802.1q
Requires VLAN capable switches as well, in which case its not a huge economical step up to just buying a L3 switch and use that as your gateway instead.
Also, might be some issues with standard DSL modems?
>all these people whining about one port
What would be the issue with running your modem to a switch, and plugging the SBC into the switch for use as a Wi-Fi router?
>>53640560
>What would be the issue with running your modem to a switch
Then you would have no router
>and plugging the SBC into the switch for use as a Wi-Fi router?
You mean Wi-Fi access point. That's not the same thing as a router.
>>53640533
Most L3 switches don't do NAT and you would still need a DHCP server on the inside.
>>53640533
>Also, might be some issues with standard DSL modems?
The modem isn't even aware of the trunking, that's the magic of VLANs.
>>53640643
>Most L3 switches don't do NAT
In my experience, they all do. Then again, my experience is limited to Cisco L3 switches, so....
>you would still need a DHCP server on the inside.
Most L3 switches have a DHCP, and even if they don't, setting one up is piss easy.
I don't use DHCP though, I just manually configure the IP for all my static stuff.
As for Wi-Fi clients, WiFi is on a separate subnet and my AP also acts as a DHCP.

nah, not really. I run pfsense on a dual core atom with dual gigabit lan ports. I get a wee bit better throughput than on some fucking shitty raspberry with usb lan ports.
>>53639536
>>53641172
mein negers. I've played enough with realtek nics and loaded binary blobs for them when installing servers that I really don't want to play with them anymore. Jewtels nics just werk.
>>53639480
Got pfsense on a J1900 board. It's good for over 2gbps. The raspberry pi maxes out closer to 35mbps.
>>53640107
>plenty
Not really.
On top of that once you consider how much the ones with USB3 cost you may as well have just bought an old desktop and run pfsense on it.

Reminder that many ISPs give you routers gratis. Mine also happens to be free since it came running a custom version of openwrt that could quickly replaced with vanilla openwrt. It also has a USB 3 port and with Samba I really don't need anything more.

>>53639941
that's clearly a banana pi.. which has 1000mbps.
besides the fact you can have two different networks on a single ethernet.
Can I use a NAS machine as a router?
My box has four ethernet ports and I only ever use one. My current router is shit and drops connections faster than fashion trends
>>53643687
>besides the fact you can have two different networks on a single ethernet.
But then your networks aren't separated. Any other device on the network could just change IP to the other network or add the second network as well to join it.
The router would be pointless.
I use a Raspberry 3 for emulation playing old games with sis.
She only has a big LCD so the actual console looks like shit and emulation is superior in this case
>>53639480
I just bought a Supermicro Atom server instead.

>>53639480
Really want to make a server out of a pi but can they power multiple hard drives? I'm not sure if the pi3 got USB 3.0.
Should I just go with a core2duo Mac mini if I want a cheap as shit server?
>>53646069
you will need an external power source
>>53639480
this is the stupidest fucking idea
just get embedded hardware made for this, like soekris or alix
What processor is the bare minimum to run a router that can handle up to four gigabit connections at any one time?
Is the Celeron J1800 dual core strong enough?
