		kalleboo on Feb 6, 2025 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: OpenWrt 24.10.0 – First Stable Release The price is the same as 1 Gbps ($30/mo) and I built the router out of $100 of parts, so it's kind of why not? It's nice when there are 10 GB updates to download, running off-site backups, and I can host whatever stuff I want out of my home instead of paying for a VPS on someone else's machine and worrying if it doesn't have enough RAM or something.

How do you connect your PC to the router?

For a desktop, 10 Gbps PCIe NICs are not expensive, especially if you go for used ones on eBay.

For a laptop, the Thunderbolt adapters are still expensive, but 2.5 Gbit adapters are very cheap if you can handle that limitation.
