In stark contrast to the CRB, the tiny [NanoPi R2S][9] is *very* cheap
94-
and available from many sources. It's nowhere near as powerful, of
95-
course, but gives you much bang for [the buck][5]!
93+
The [NanoPi R2S][9] is a compact, affordable router board built around
94+
the Rockchip RK3328, a quad-core Cortex-A53. With two Gigabit Ethernet
95+
ports, a USB 3.0 port, and a reset button, it has everything you need
96+
for a capable home router — at a price that's hard to beat.

Small enough to fit in a pocket yet powerful enough to handle NAT,
102+
firewalling, and VLANs at wire speed, it is an excellent choice for
103+
anyone looking to run a proper network OS at home without breaking
104+
the bank.
