Ask HN: Recommended Router for Home Office
1) No Wifi needed, I have a separate AP for that.
2) Have 1-2 2.5 Gb ports that don't require link aggregation if possible. One of my future goes is to try and get a home NAS that is capable of doing 2.5Gb.
3) Have 1-2 SFP+ ports so that I can connect a switch or two. Another future goal is to connect a couple of switches, one with PoE+ and one without, though I will admit this may not be necessary if I am not going the 10 Gb route which I am on the fence on.
4) Allow for 5-10 port forward entries and at least 20-30 MAC address reservations.
5) Rack mountable
I have been leaning towards MicroTik, in particular their new RB5009UG+S+IN

However, I have no experience using their router OS and if it will provide the options I am looking for. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you!
