I'm thinking Mini-ITX Atom Dual core based with about 2GB RAM and FreeBSD PFSense. Been doing a little research. Anyone take on a similar project?
Suggestions?
I just can't handle the Linksys/Cisco, D-Link, NetGear, etc. etc. Garbage they are pumping out. No matter how expensive a unit you get, (last one I bought was the ASUS RT-N65U for 140 bucks) it still only lasts about a year before I need to start rebooting it two or three times per week to get it to work right (wireless mostly), which is what I'm doing with this current router now. Garbage.. Never again after this one.
I'm considering this Mini-ITX Intel/Atom board.

Has two Intel Gb NICs and a PCIe Mini card slot for and Intel wireless/bluetooth module. The ATOM is a 1.86GHz dual core and I figure 2GB SODIMM DDR3.
