I replaced the Netgate SG-1100 with a virtualized solution running on Routerbox. It is a fair bit more powerful. It has 3 2.5 gigabit NICs passed through with PCIe, but only two of them are used currently.
I have the following networks, achieved with VLANs:
Old Netgate SG-1100
I replaced my old router with this Netgear SG-1100, the primary reason to save power. It is a lot less powerful than my old router however, and can only route at ~350Mbps or so. However it doesn't randomly shut down which is pretty nice. It was powered off my TL-RP108GE, which itself was powered off POE from my Mikrotik CRS112-8P-4S-IN. Since it's official Netgear hardware, I can run pfsense plus which has some interesting advantages.
Old Old router
In this old supermicro 1u case I kept my pfsense router, the main router used in my house. It hosts a wireguard server, amongst other things. It is powered with an AMD A4-5000, a nice low powered CPU with AES hardware acceleration (unlike intel processors of the same era). It is powered off a PicoPSU, which saves ~5w. It uses a dedicated intel i350 NIC, which is very nice.
