nsummy got a reaction from gstoyanov in SBC recommendations for a wireless routerI think you need to decide if you are doing this to save money or doing this to build something and gain learning experience. If money is your goal, you will almost certainly be better off buying an off the shelf access point. If you want to build something, just realize it will cost more and likely not perform nearly as well. Here are a few suggestions though in no particular order:
1. Espressobin v7 - $69 - new versions does have ddr4. This might be your best option as you can also get this $20 wireless card that fits in it: https://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-81-marvell-88w8997-2x2-wi-fi-80211acbt-50-minipci-card-20.aspx
2. Clearfog Base - $120 https://www.solid-run.com/product/SRM6828S00D01GE008B01CH/
3. Clearfog 8k - $220 - https://www.solid-run.com/product/SRM8040S64D00GE008V11GH/
Anything from Solidrun as mentioned in the comment above. Also, do you really only need 1 eth port? If so I would say that expands your options quite a bit. But then you are really talking less about a router and more like an access point.
