I was considering the Mikrotik RB5009, but after doing a lot of research, I think it’s going to be too complicated for me at the moment.

I run a Dell R210ii with a Broadcom 2-port SFP+ card, which with a patched kernel driver supports 2.5 GbE (typically GPON or NBase-T). I run this setup with a 2.5 Gbps RJ45 connection to my Comcast cable modem and a 10 Gbps SFP+ DAC to my core switch (ICX6610). No idea if it can actually route at that speed, though, since my connection is only 1200/35 asymmetrical…
I’ve got a Lenovo M920q that I’m dropping a dual-port Intel X540 NIC into. OpnSense will be installed on this as my primary router at home.
Just waiting on a proprietary bracket for the NIC to arrive.
