Hey guys, are there any ready-made ultra compact routers? Not something I can put together from a raspberry pie, but something I can throw in my backpack with the rest of the cables and carry with me. 2-4 gbit ethernet ports, any wifi (no external antennas preferable), USB-C for power. PoE+ would be bonus.

As an example, I have seen the LinkStar-H68K, but I cannot find it anywhere in the West, or the Mikrotik hAP mini RB931-2nD

Key here, I don’t want to put it together and it has to be slim enough to fit in the cable pouch.

    I have various Mikrotiks that I arbitrarily set up for this sort of thing. Handy thing with them is that you can script the startup mode, like if it can ping 8.8.8.8 on ether1 then set it up as a router, if there is no internet on the WAN port then switch to bridge mode or some such. I’ve got a couple of different scripts to save having to manually reconfigure it every time.
