Thanks. I am just a beginner in the networking world so I don't expect to use super fancy features for now... just basic filtering and enhanced security from typical consumer home network.

But who knows... maybe in the future... but always you can upgrade your gear.

If only one fiber cable, then is it .1q?
.1q to fw (1 cable) will always mean 1/2 iface for total bandwidth. But 5G is still 2x that of the copper 2.5G.

I myself like the one cable design, less mess.

Get the i3 fan version. The fan is silent during the day. At night you might hear a slight fan.

When my needs get to that level, i'll replace my N150 for i3 version.

Funny how they added description like that, but the i3-N305 is dual mem channel capable, significantly way better than single mem channel N150.

Precisely, I am getting this box with the N150, and I plan to connect a switch with the 10G SFP+ port

The switch has 4x 2.5G Poe ports + 1 2.5G non Poe + 1x 10G SFP+

I also plan to connect wifi7 APs to Switch Poe Ports

I should have selected the i3 version or I will be fine with the N150?

Hi! new member here! Sorry for using this thread but I am just pulling the trigger on a Topton 2x10Gbps SFP + 3x2,5Gbps eth i-226 N150 8GB DDR5 128GB Nvme.

I wonder if 8GB DDR5 is just enough for home use. I plan to use it same way the original post of this thread.

thanks!
