 My main home server is based upon an Intel Atom C3750 server, this is still currently adequately meeting my needs. I have upgraded with a 10Gb/s PCIe card.  My router as of 2025-01 is a i3-305 based machine, with modern 2x 2.5GB/s NICs and 2 x 10GB/s NICs, all RJ45 type with 10GB/S NICs able to operate reliably and low power at all main speeds down to 10MB/s.  I also still operate an older Intel Atom C2750 as a back-up server. This gets started by the main server once a week to run a Restic back-up with a Python script I wrote. My main home server is based upon an Intel Atom C3750 server, this is still currently adequately meeting my needs.

-My main switch is a XikeStor SKS8300-12E2T2X.  This has 12x 2.5Gb/s RJ45 NICs, 2x 10Gb/s RJ45 NICs and 2x 10GB/s SFP NICS.  This allows me to connect my main switch and servers via 10GB/s networking. With the bulk of the other NICS rated up to 2.5Gb/s.  My main Atom C3750 server also has 4x 1Gb/s NICs.  I have 2 wireless access points Netgear WAX206 with upstream ethernet connections to the main switch operating at 2.5Gb/s and each with 4x 1Gb/s downstream ethernet connections available.  The Netgear WAX206 wireless access points are Wifi 6 rated which is sufficient for my current needs. I run OpenWRT firmware on these wireless access points as Netgear stopped supporting this hardware after only 3-4 years.  Suitable Wifi7 routers are still too expensive as of the writing (2025-12) to merit replacing the current access points.+My main switch is a XikeStor SKS8300-12E2T2X.  This has 12x 2.5Gb/s RJ45 NICs, 2x 10Gb/s RJ45 NICs and 2x 10GB/s SFP NICS.  This allows me to connect my main switch and servers via 10GB/s networking.

One of the Wifi Access I use (in my study) requires additional Ethernet connections for printer and IPMI connectivity.  If I upgraded to a Wifi 7 access point at a minimum I would require a 10Gbe upstream connection with a 2.5Gbe and 2 x 1GBE downstream connection, preferable 10GBe upstream, 1x 10GBE and 2x2.5Gbe downstream, e.g TP-Link Archer BE800 or BE550Pro.
