My household is sick of dealing with the comcast router, and I'm looking at my options as far as a diy router. I could drop $200 on a mini pc like the Qotom Mini PC J1900, but before I do that I'm wondering if I could just use my Raspberry Pi B+ that's collecting dust. I also saw this article for a $55 module for the Pi on ArsTechnica. The CM4 Router Board. But I neither know if its necessary or compatible, and it would probably take me a while to learn what I was doing.
Anyone ever go down this route? I would much rather get something small and lower power consumption than use one of my old desktops, I'm sure it would be deemed "unsightly" and "unacceptable".
