Hello selfhosted.
My router just burnt up and instead of buying a new one, I’m thinking of turning my own built NAS/home server into a router. Is this possible?
The server in question is a normal computer running debian, where I have a few disks in RAID and host some web services. The motherboard only has one RJ45 port, so my guess is that I have to at least get a network card that supports 2 ports. I’m no stranger to linux but physical networking is not my home field, though I’m very interested.
If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be more than happy.
First thing I’d troubleshoot… Is your router the issue, or the modem that decodes the signal from your ISP?
Last I checked, router/AP stuff is pretty easy to DIY (OpenWRT, PFsense, etc). But that’s the step after the modem has done what it needs to do.
My router physically burnt up, up in flames. No idea why, tired of life I guess.
