Topic: Advice for >= 12-port PoE 1Gb router?

The content of this topic has been archived on 13 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi

I've been looking for a single box router/switch with minimal 12  1 Gb-ports.
It should support PoE on few ports to allow a camera and a wifi base station.
19" inch rack is too large, it should be desktop or wall-mounted.

I notice that few switches do exist, but it seems none support NAT and firewall.

Any advice/suggestions?

Thanks

Checkout those: http://routerboard.com/
They have 12 x 1Gbps routers... but they are not cheap

I second that recommendation but if you want desktop with POE. You're best bet is going to be the Ubiquiti POE 5-Port Edge Routers.

Otherwise you're looking at the POE Switch (Netonix or Ubiquiti) along with a RB2011 or RB1100.

The discussion might have continued from here.
