I’m looking to get a used router on which to install libreCMC, but the list of supported hardware is quite short. I’d prefer to find something locally, and I doubt that I’d be able to find these particular models. However, I do not intend to use WiFi at all, so I wonder, are there any more recent routers that work 100% with libreCMC except for the WiFi? Preferably something with at least 4 Ethernet ports.

Thanks!

EDIT: What I want to know is which routers do not require any non-free firmware for any of the hardware other than the WLAN. Does anyone know of where to find such information, or how to tell based on the specifications of a router that has not actually been tested with libreCMC?

    I think a far better option for you then is building your own router, duel ethernet nuc + cheap ethernet switch or a rasberry pi + switch would both run fine and leave some headroom for running a firewall+dns+vpn+etc

      While that sounds like an interesting project, I’m not trying to invest a lot of time and effort into this. The grass won’t stop growing back while I figure it out.
