I am looking to replace a simple router with something that has enough
horse power to enable things like vlans (to increase security) and possibly
even function well as a hardware firewall. Looking at retail routers it seems
that there are sub $75 routers, then its $150 and then its $250+ - - - whilst
wireless services would also be useful these more expensive machines
don't really seem to be offering value. In the search for networking is how
I found FRRouting. Now if only I also had skills in programming - - - rather
mine tend not to be in this area. Whilst I am a tool creator its physical tools
ie like machinery and the uses and other areas where I have developed my
skills but am an avid computer user.

So I'm not going to be any kind of expert on FRRouting but I do really want
to have something here that works well and am quite capable of writing up
something given assistance in the doing of it. I might function best as an
editor. One of the interesting things I'm seeing is that quantity 1 the mini
pcs are not very reasonable - - - at quantity even 10 the price has dropped
dramatically and at 25 pcs - - - well its a fairly small fraction of
the cost at
quantity 1 - - - but so is life.

So does FRRouting stand alone doing everything in a 'router' or does it
get used 'with' x or y or z or ????

Thanking you for your consideration and assistance!
