I operated a homebrew OpenBSD router before settling on pfSense. I'm
waiting for his video to cue up, so it might already be covered in his
talk, but I see two essential information groups that need covering:

1) Building a low wattage, low noise homebrew router

2) Interfacing your homebrew router to a wifi router such that the wifi
   doesn't do firewalling or routing: Only wifi.
