Looking for Gbit / multi-Gbit router available in the EU

That is more confusing than helpfull to link the specification of the old model.
As you can see here https://forum.turris.cz/t/turris-omnia-2022/15995/124 there is quite a difference between the old and the new model

it was the only specs available on turris's website.

Well, currently to the best of my knowledge there only exist prototypes of a next generation omnia, so I would take any feature desriptions more as a statement of intent than of fact, with the current supply chain issues the question might boil down to which parts are actually attainable in the desired quantities versus which parts would be nicest to have.

ATM the published specs @KOA posted describe those omnias well you can actually buy... I would respectfully say, the coming omnia is a bit off-topic for this thread as it not currently available (in the EU or any other place). From the announcement which posted the tentative specs:
"Unfortunately, no ETA yet. But we aim for 2022."

There is nothing else announced that would match

  • device capable of >1Gbit routing
  • OpenVPN / Wireguard server support
  • Wifi 6 ( or Wifi 6E)
  • VLAN support (Guest & IoT)
  • Ability to use a local IP as the uplink DNS server (screw you TP-Link)

so off course I drop the new omnia here since it is the perfect fit and even if you wait a few months more there will be nothing comparable.

There is no ETA for the new omnia and the OP asked for "available"... so I respectfully maintain that this is not all that helpful in this thread, but with this said I will bow out.

I’m in the same situation as you: I prefer to use an all-in-one solution (only one router) and I’m searching for 1000mbps device. In the end I’ll wait for the new Netgear RAX120. It should be capable of QoS at 1gbps and OpenWRT support is not far I hope, here’s the discussion thread: Adding OpenWrt Support for Netgear RAX120 (Nighthawk AX12)

Thanks for bringing Turris to my attention, their stuff looks neat.

Seeing that none of the available stuff seems to be too much better equipped than the AX50 that I’m running now, and that it turns out that I need to do more research into which FOSS firmware I really want to run, recommendations of not-yet-out HW are fine by me.

EDIT: It's an AX50 / AX3000, not an AX5000

To me it looks like it’s already out (but no OpenWRT support if that’s what you mean)? It looks pretty good, but it’s a shame only one of the ports can do >1Gbps.

Yes I meant OpenWRT decent support obviously :grinning:

You can attach to it a 2,5/5/whatever gbps 4/6/!ports switch. That’s not a trouble.

.... unless it's needed it for the uplink

Surely it’s not a device future -10years- proof, but in Europe (I live in Italy) I think that something above 500/1000mbps uplink is not near. But I would be glad to be debunked :grin:

I've had 1/1gbit for the last 5+ years, at home, my ISP have been offering 10/10gbit just as long, probably longer, it was already available, when I signed up.

@shdf just upgraded to 2/1, he's in .fr - X86 device, which network chip should be chosen for "headache-free" functioning? - #62 by shdf

Woha! What a luck, where do you live? …here in Italy there are some ISPs that are offering 2,5 downlink but only 200 or 500mbps uplink!

I'm in .se.

The cold country with fast internet, and polar bears roaming the streets (not really, but it still fools people),

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but how would that change things?

Not that it matters right now, I only have 50Mb up.

Lucky you. I think I could get 1Gbps symmetric if I signed up for the business plan instead of the personal one, but AFAIK the price on that wouldn't be worth it. Still, the ISP says they’re expanding to 10Gbit in some places, so I'm looking forward to what the future holds.

I also have a NAS on the network that I wouldn't mind faster local access to, but the SATA drives themselves can't do much over 1Gbps anyway. (Actually now seeing that a realistic speed for a SATA drive is 600Mbps, I'm curious what magic ZFS is doing to get me up to 1Gbps read/write haha.)

I will keep my answer sime:

I hope this works... If not, just go on aliexpress and search for "router pentium n6005". You will find versions with 4 and 6 intel i225 lan ports, multi GB of ram and m2 ssd. Not ferribly expensive, but should be more than capable enough to do what you need.

WRT3200ACM is available on amazon.de and they ship to most EU countries.

Just don't, it's not 250€ good, not today.

from my point of view the WRT3200ACM is over priced now. on wikidevi they say it was out in 2016 at 249.99$
now in 2022 it is at 249.99€ on Amazon.de !
it doesn't have all the latest technological advances. it only has 1Gbps ports, no wifi 6. Its price should have been greatly reduced. Now we have much better for less.

You can get a NETGEAR WAX206 for 90€.
a few weeks ago, in France, you could buy for 200€ à QHora-301W, with wifi6 and 2x 10Gbps ports (multigig)...

Note that MBps and Mbps are not the same units: Mbps means "megabits per second" and MBps means "megabytes per second". SATA 3 max speed is 6 Gbps or 600 MBps (wikipedia), whereas in networking speed is almost always specified in Mbps or Gbps. 1 Gbps = 125 MBps.
