I’m trying to make my first server (Immich + Navidrome + Nextcloud running on Debian, will use WireguardVPN for remote access), but my crappy XFinity router (XB7) just won’t port forward at all to my server machine. I’ve tried so many things to make it work, so the best thing I can do now is buy my own router so that I can just use the Xfinity router as a bridge. Do you guys have recommendations for a secure, customizable enough, and long-distance router good for 6 people?

      Okay. Finally getting some results. I swear “micropc”, sff etc did not yield results.

      These ~C$150 devices will still need a Wi-Fi adapter connected to them though, right?

        I would recommend to always use access points for that. A used (fanless) enterprise PoE switch comes handy to power several which are spread over the house.

        If the seller doesn’t have a WiFi bundle, then yes. If they do, you’ll just need to pay extra.

        I also recommend looking for a mini PC with Intel N100, N200, etc.
