I have the hEX S as a router and if you only need 4 device ports it saves you having a separate switch. This one has a newish CPU so routing performance is pretty much line-rate and it also has an SFP cage so depending on your provider setup you might even get the fiber directly into this device (mine sadly uses GPON with dedicated crypto built into the media converter so I could not use it). It is very feature rich and only costs about 75EUR here.&lt;p&gt;The upgrade pick would be the RB5009 with SFP+, 2.5GBe and 8GBe ports, much-much more CPU. The availability of this is pretty bad tho, I have the PoE version on order.</text></comment>
