Hello guys!
I got an idea and I'm not sure if it is right.
Recently I moved to a different location, and my new ISP gives me 150/15 Mbps. Unfortunetally I had to put my old AP with Tomato on board, into a NAT mode. That sucks, because it chokes a bit. I dont have the money for a new fancy router like Netgear R7000, but
I do have an old motherboard. I'm not sure if it will be good for creating a router+AP based on opnsense?
Mainboard: Gigabyte P35-DS4
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6550@2333MHz
RAM: 2x 1024 DDR2
I just lack of PSU, hard drive (or a pendrive will do?), WiFi card and it has only one Ethernet port.
Also I'm not a daily Linux user and would be grateful for any tutorials/materials/advice, for simple achieving this task :)
