Wonder if that m.2 slot could be used for a wifi card that supports wifi 6E provided that openwrt has drivers
Probably
Cool
Anyone in the UK ordered or tried one of these yet?
Nice! I wish it had a USB port for setting up NAS, though.
Full specs:
- 1GB DDR4 memory (onboard)
- 256MiB SPI NAND Flash and 16 MiB SPI NOR flash storage
- M.2 2242/2230 socket for PCIe Gen 2 x1 SSD (bring your own storage)
- MediaTek MT7976C dual-band WiFi 6 support (2×2 2.4 GHz and 3×3 5 GHz)
- 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A host port
- 1 x USB Type-C (device, console)
- RTC backup battery support
- PoE support
- MikroBUS socket for expansion modules
It has a USB port and an M2 NVME slot. As someone else noted, USB is usually considered a poor choice due to speed and reliability, so I would suggest nvme.
It doesn’t have a lot of ram so it isn’t great for a NAS. Better to use dedicated hardware
Using this as a NAS would be an odd choice indeed - it’s unequivocally a router.
I’m a bit unfamiliar with NVME, I’ll look into that maybe instead.
Setting up NAS? Anything over USB is going to be slower than LAN, isn’t it (which is still your bottleneck anyway)?
