You can make yourself an open-source router by flashing OpenWRT to any of the
hundreds of OpenWRT's supported models. Or if you are really serious and by
"open source router" mean it also must be Open Hardware, then there should be
still much cheaper options available. For example this board[1], can be
combined with any VLAN-capable switch and act as a perfectly capable router
(although this particular model does not have gigabit LAN).
