Ok, I am thinking of simplifying my network, as im currently running 3 routers each on its own subnet. With about 25 -35 devices connecting daily

Im considering a move to either PFSense or OPNsence to facilitate this

Im working on a budget (£50-£85), so looking at using either

an existing 2nd Gen i5 laptop or PC + smart switch for VLANs or

a thin client with a 4port gigabit Ethernet card.

what other than AES-NI would you consider essential as a consideration and what kind of hardware on a budget would you look at ?
