R9000 - Nighthawk X10 SFP port
Good morning all, I am interested in this router and ask myself the following question: is the 10Gb SFP port usable with an AGM-731F type SFP module in order to be able to connect this router to my...
Voxels FW is still supporting the R9000 and his stuff is pretty good. A good alternative should NG EoL the R9000.
I recently picked up a used R9000 on the secondary market and have Voxels firmware installed. Also picked up the Cable Matters 10GBASE-T 10 Gigabit SFP+ adapter. The combination mates up very will with my CM2050V modem.
If you are looking to purchase new hardware, the R9000 is most likely not a good long term investment. The design is dated and the version of Wi-Fi 6 it transmits is obsolete. Overall, it is an outstanding router, and the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi is solid.
- Hello, thank you for your answers. What similar material would you advise me to replace the R9000? of course, newer and still equipped with an SFP port. another question, know how many NAT rules, port opening am I limited to on an R9000?

If you are asking about the number of NAT rules and port openings allowed, you should be using professional grade hardware and not consumer grade like the R9000.
