Best software router out there if you… Best software router out there if you like a professional CLI, rock solid stability and loads of enterprise features.

I've used VyOS (Vyatta) since 2014 I've used VyOS (Vyatta) since 2014. It was the primary routing platform in an organization that supported 100+ sites and over 40,000 users. There is a learning curve for some who have come from a traditional environment, but it is an extremely flexible networking platform.

Feature set far beyond what you'd expect I've been using vyos since 2013. I was looking at purchasing a couple of other hardware devices from a vendor that sounds like Jupiter. There were several licensing restrictions and extra costs that would have gone into the project, but thanks to Lanner electronics and vyos, the cost dropped by about 75% and we didn't have to worry about extra licensing to do what we needed. I'm pretty much s novice when it comes to the network and network security side of the house, but our very experienced network team was more than impressed with vyos. And they were able to, not only complete, but add features, to our installation for several hundred workstations using 5Gb of bandwidth across 4 sites. Myself and a team with over 60 years of combined experience can't recommend it strongly enough.

VyOS is my go-to router distribution VyOS is my go-to router distribution. I use it at client sites, at home, and would not hesitate to recommend it for most router/firewall needs. It runs superbly well on small low powered hardware as well as larger servers. I have never used or needed the paid support, but for a mission critical installation I would think it would be beneficial.

The best router you can get. The best router you can get. I am a network administrator and we have been using the vyos router for over 7 years. It is our main router to do NAT on the eduroam wifi network and it has proven to be stable and solid as a rock. We have now gone from a single vyos to a couple of vyos routers in HA. Vyos has a really good CLI, easy to copy and clone configurations, runs in virtual so it allows you to have a test environment,... Best choice you can make.
