I'm looking for a router for my new rack, and need some recommendations. None of my current systems use 10G ethernet yet, only 1G, so I suppose a 1G router will suffice. Can I get a decent rack mount router (I do not care about having wifi on it or it being new) for around or under $200 USD? Any recommendations?

I virtualized my router...opnsense. Just runs in proxmox with all my other vms. Have you explored that option?

The downside of this is more wife/family use and appeal if the server goes down. One thing goes south while I'm not there and my family would murder me.
