Cheapest router that suports 2.5G internet?
(lemmy.ml)
Community for discussing enterprise networks and the ensuing chaos that comes after inheriting or building one.
It'll be hard to find one at that price. You may find something with a 2.5G NIC but whether or not it will actually route at line speed is highly unlikely.
Your best bet to keep prices low is to add a 2.5G NIC to an old PC. Even that may not work
Many of the 2.5g optics don't comply with standards and may not work in some devices.
I've never done it so I can't say for certain.
I typically buy purpose built routers which advertise routing speed benchmarks
PCIe 3.0 x1 is plenty for 2.5G.
