Can someone suggest a Gigabit LAN only router?

 

I don't need it to be LAN only, but the prices of 802.11ac routers are too damn high, and it doesn't need to have hundreds of ethernet ports (since I have some switches lying around), or maybe it would make sense to fashion together some pfSense router and frankenstein a switch onto it or something...

 

Any suggestions are welcome, and if this is already a topic I apologize.

 

Thanks for your time.

Yeah there isn't too many that don't have wifi, but the reason I need a router (and not just a switch) is because a switch doesn't seem to act the same way as a router does. I need it specifically for having a separate network just for directing files and folders from my PC to my raspberry pi and vice-versa.

Ubiquiti Edgerouter X for $50. Will absolutely destroy any other consumer router in that price range.

 

This is exactly what I'm looking for thank you very much. It's quite cheap as well :)

truefully I think it would be better to buy a good router that supports 3rd party firmware..and just turn off the wireless..probably cheaper

This is true. I already have 2 Wireless routers for internet usage, but they both have 802.11b speeds, and the ethernet has the same speeds as the wifi (god only knows why) and I'd just like to upgrade transfer speeds with NAS devices. Thanks for the input ;)

Go with ubiquity. Their firmware is in my opinion wayyyy better than ddwrt. That is, as ling as you are familiar with linux.

My native language is C++
