You can run FreeBSD on some Ubiquiti routers, also a Mikrotik one. See HERE.
You're right, but you will loose your hw acceleration.

The thing that I find strange is price. They seem to be all over the place.
I do not know how the IT market works, but often on others markets the retailers buy products from the maker with 40% off the street price (the actual price expected the product to be sold, not the list price). Big retailers/distributors sometimes manage to acquire products up to 70% off of the street price.
I am curious to hear from SirDice as to whether you can still use the EOL Juniper device.
My requirements are:
- Can do WiFi and Ethernet with at least 5 ports
- Allows for root console access or has a SUPER rich web interface
- Can run a Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel (Uses IP protocol 41)
- Can run DHCPv6 and/or router advertisement (rtadvd)
- Can do OpenVPN as server and/or client
- Small form-factor - Something designed for home use, not for a server rack
I was asking for something more for a home user. I would be cool with something high-end if its EoL and therefore significantly cheaper.
