There is a Mac Mini at home that is not used by anyone. The configuration is not bad, so I want to use it myself.
Apart from being used as a router, I didn't expect a good usage scenario (relatively speaking).
I searched around a lot of related topics, but there are many old posts.
Can any v friends who are still using Mac Mini as routers come out and share their plans and experience?

My home divides the network into groups and only acts for what the agent needs, so the stability is quite good, except for power failure or node problems, and I usually haven't encountered any problems. Switching from soft routing, first, there are very few functions used, and hard routing is more worry-free. In addition, in recent years, airports are not as stable as before. Using surge to maintain is much simpler than soft routing plug-ins, and it is also simple to capture packets and modify rules when needed. simple
