Hi all,
We’re going to go ahead and make this post as well as pin it.
Due to the overwhelming inquiries of details about the Route10, please put any inquiries (even if they’ve already been answered) as replies to this post and we’ll address them.
If you’ve asked and received an answer, please simply copy paste in the following format:
Q: [Your question]
A: [The answer given]
Q: What is the MSRP?
A: MSRP of the ROUTE10 is $199 USD
Q: What are the specs of the ROUTE10?
A: Now that it has officially been announced, please check the product page and datasheets for the ROUTE10. If you have questions about specs not listed, please reply here.
Q: When will it be available?
A: As of the time of this post (September 20th), we expect the ROUTE10s to be arriving at distributors’ locations in October. Some distributors will likely offer pre-order opportunities.
Q: Will it launch with dual-WAN support?
A: That is the goal, it does not support dual WAN at the time of this post, but we have a heavy goal to have that ready to go by the time end-users physically have the router
Q: Will it support IPv6 at launch
A: Yes
Q: Will it support DHCP Option * at launch
A: No, but will be added
Q: Will [OpenDNS/Adguard/PiHole/etc] be available on the router itself?
A: Not to start and possibly not ever. You can certainly have the Route10 point to these services if desired, but hosting DNS on the router itself will not be available at launch.
Will it have ISP monitoring? … isp uptime/downtime and latency testing would be great.
I would really like this as well. I use these metrics a lot.
Will DNS over TLS or HTTPS be available?
ISP Monitoring is not something that will be available at launch nor in the first month. This one would be a bit tricky as it depends on what the metric would be to qualify the internet connection as “down”. But we’ll get it added to the list for research, at least
DoT/DoH will be available in the shorter term, but possibly not at the time end-users get the ROUTE10 in their hands.
Is SSH available into the box? Is it Debian underneath?
Not sure if it’s relevant and not seen it before (other than PfSense/OPNsense but is there going to be a reverse proxy feature for us self hosters?
Is there also going to be a ad-blocking feature?
I can confirm that SSH is available!
Is there any info on the optional rack mount that you can share?
Will the rack mount accessory be available at launch?
@JRosen and @ebrunn you know, I was wondering the same thing. the information I have on that might be a little stale. I’ll check and get back to you guys on the rackmount availability.
With the IDS/IPS will that be free? Will there be any licensing costs for any features?
Are you look to include unbound or similar at some point in the future?
My bet is that it will be Snort tbh
Excellent pricing. Can’t wait to see one in person. Will it be at Palooza?
The Route10 is exactly what I wished it would be although a lot of the advanced features are post release.
I’ll sit on the fence and wait for some firmware maturity and review before deciding if I should switch back to a Alta Labs solution.
My WAN connection can support gigabit speeds over pppoe . My current router (with Quad-core ARM Cortex A53 at 1.5 GHz) was not quite able to keep up especially with IDS/IPS enabled. I don’t know if that was a hardware limitation or firmware that wasn’t optimised to use the
full chipset capability - perhaps even a decision by the vendor to restrain the device so it doesn’t outperform their more expensive gateways!
Will it have Alta Control ability? Would be nice to avoid having two boxes if control can be integrated into it.
Product page specifies “Multi-WAN”, however in many communications it said as “Dual-WAN”. So is it gonna be Dual or Multi WAN?
Is the dual/multi-wan gonna be limited to load balancing/failover, or will custom routing rules be supported (eg. route specific device through WAN2, everything else through WAN1)?
Can any physical port be defined as WAN/LAN?
Can a single port be used for Multi-WAN (one physical connection to the ISP, multiple PPPoE users, each with their own static IP)?
Can a VPN connection be defined as a gateway/WAN?
Route10 is looking great, cant wait to drop this on my network.
Looks like there 2 POE ports in the middle and not to one side, I like that it different to other routers. Any reason why you designed it in this way?
What’s the thermals like when the CPU operating at maximum and are there ventilation grills / holes for cooling?
