I'd like to try out building my own router on a hobbyist budget. Are there any cheap SoC type devices like that come with dual rj45 ethernet ports?
It seems to be a common trait that all the sub-$100 USD SoC devices have one rj45 port.

If you're looking to design your own hardware, there are plenty of ICs with dual NICs. For example the TI chip on the BeagleBone Black has dual ethernet NICs, but only one is used on the board.
