It's possible to use the Pi in a so-called "router-on-a-stick" configuration using only the single onboard Ethernet port in conjunction with VLANs. The TP-Link UE300 is a popular choice and works very well. Any dongle based on the RTL8153 chipset will do. Here are a few options you might consider: A quality microSD card of any commonly available size even 8GB is an enormous amount of space compared to your average plastic consumer network router.1GB of RAM will be plenty for this application but more won't hurt. Instead, plan on supplementing the Pi with another device to serve as a wireless access point. The Pi's onboard WiFi implementation is truly pitiful compared to a decent all-in-one consumer router. Doing all of the above with no moving parts, low power consumption and in a very compact footprint, at a very competitive price.Oodles of extra RAM and processing power for running additional services if you're so inclined.The CPU is certainly capable of much more, limited only by the speed of the network interfaces. Full gigabit routing performance with SQM disabled.All of these qualities make it an ideal candidate to become the next foundation of your home network. The Raspberry Pi 4 single-board computer is affordable, ubiquitous, and runs circles around any consumer device near its price point. This is especially true for users who wish to take advantage of advanced traffic shaping technologies like SQM which is notoriously CPU-intensive. With the increasing prevalence of gigabit-speed home internet connections in the US and elsewhere comes the need for routing hardware with greater performance than many "all-in-one" devices can offer. So You Want To Build a Raspberry Pi Router If you have any feedback or would like to propose an edit please feel free to open an issue or PR on GitHub. Hey all, I've been enjoying my RPi 4 router and it seems to be a popular topic so I thought I'd write up a quick article to help people get started with their own setup.
