Hi I am trying to host 6 game servers (with a proxy link to all game servers to make it a Network) FTP, MySQL and Apache (with SSL & Domain name). I am unsure of what kind of router i will need for this project or shall i build my own? I was doing some searching on Google and i saw a forum that recommended the Netgear Nighthawk X10 but it is way over my budget of $200. I am also gonna be streaming(4k)while all the servers are active (this is a total of 10 servers in general) is there a router out there that can fit my budget and the speed and bandwidth of what i need? Thanks

Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite and a UAP-AC-LR should do the trick. It has great NAT performance for things like servers.

i would tentatively say that buying a dell optiplex for 30 bucks (i5, some ram) and then buying 2 pcie gigabit ethernet cards would do the trick - but the post above is probably the best option, or going with used cisco routers
