Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, I have a client who's relocating and moving to a different office. I need to set up a simple internal network for them, and the WAN will be a 200Mbit/sec connection. They could repurpose a PCEngines APU (where I'd install OpenBSD or FreeBSD), or I could deploy a small Mikrotik that does everything, including acting as an access point. There won't be any incoming connections since the datacenter is at another location, and I'll connect via Wireguard. I'm leaning towards the first option, but the second is more straightforward and easily replaceable in case of issues. Any advice?
