I accidentally cooked my current Opnsense router last night trying to shoehorn an M.2 2.5g nic into it. So I’m looking for recommendations for something new.

The now dead machine is an i5 Lenovo M920q with a Connect-x3 10g card and a USB3 2.5g nic.

I have 2 gig fiber service that’s handed off on an RJ45 2.5g port. So I feel like that really limits my options.

    If you didn’t need 2.5 Gbps on the network, ace magician has a ryzen 5 mini that has a 2.5 Gbps and a 1 Gbps NIC for around 300 USD. Otherwise I guess you are looking for a new pc to put in fast cards.
