Re: Router Buying Advice

ER-X-SFP should do fine.

 

If you need more processing power, then an ERL. 

 

ER-5 only has three (3) switch ports.

ER-8 is overkill (unless you're planning on more than 1 physical LAN subnet, and even then, it's probably overkill).

 

With the exception of the ERX, ER-X-SFP, and ER-5, none of the ER line has onboard switching capabilites.

 

As for connecting the fiber directly in, that depends on how it's being provided.  Some providers (such as AT&T in the US) require the use of their modem (as it's got their firmware on it).
