1 - the best option that’s 25$ or cheaper that can run at least 50mbps up and down with SQM enabled .

2- the best option that’s 60$ or cheaper that can run at least 200 down and 100up with SQM enabled .

3 - the best option that’s 100$ or cheaper that can run at least 500mbps down and 100up with SQM enabled .

There are plenty of very similar threads, covering widely overlapping inquiries active right now. I do understand that choosing (and finding!) the correct device is rather difficult, but imho this thread is too generic (three different categories at once) to be really useful (again) and largely covered in parallel threads already.

Hi, I’m really sorry I’m new to the openwrt world . I have no experience at all .

Meaning it’s extremely hard for me to see the specs of any router or mini pc and know if it’s suitable for my needs specially knowing it can run certain speed like for example 50mbps or 300mbps ( with SQM ) just by seeing the specs or knowing if it’s stable and with no issues or if the storage or RAM is enough. Or also if it’s the best option ! ( I think there are no strong guidelines for that )

Here where the experts comes in ( you guys ) .

For example I heard of the edgerouter X but this router was recommended and launched years ago meaning I’m afraid there are better options and even cheaper. that’s why I’m asking you guys the experts .

I’m sorry if this is to much . But I didn’t want to creat so many thread I thought this will be very annoying.

I’m asking multiple recommendations for my brothers also . Sorry for that .
