Router recommendations for FreeBSD

[Richard A Barrow]

For my 2 pennies worth, I just get hold of any cheap little router that does
as little as possible!!!!!!!!!!! 

Then put a bsd firewall with squid on it and work through that. Means I can
change the router if I wish to without any thoughts that someone else is
looking after my ingress point.

Regards Richard

The Thompson box works just fine, as long as you leave it upside down  
so the hot air can escape. :-)

I use it in bridged mode, with pfsense running on one of those old  
Compaq small form factor boxes. It's a very reliable set-up.
