   My home = one or two clients at any one time. Only PCs.

   That router has half the RAM of the Pi Zero and a lower CPU clock   
   (though two cores instead of one). I'm sure it's fine for doing the   
   current job of my DGN2200, but I wouldn't consider changing that if   
   it wasn't for the need to run the HTTPS to HTTP software, and hence   
   I started looking outside the range of available routers.
