I wonder if it can be configured to act solely as an access point--I already have a ubnt EdgeRouter Lite, but wouldn't mind replacing my aging access point.
EDIT: It does support bridge mode[2].

- tjohns 11y agoJust a guess, but the TPM is probably for secure boot, just like on a Chromebook. Since security is one of the selling points. https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/verified-boot https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/...
- tomkinstinch 11y agoThat would make sense. We'll have to wait and see if the OnHub has a "dev" switch like Chromebooks. Hopefully it will be possible to put custom software on it (even if the Google software is just fine, the flexibility would be nice).
- katruchu 11y agoI have the same set up as you do. EdgeRouter Lite with an old Linksys E2000 acting solely as an access point. OnHub might be a good replacement, but I’m wondering if it supports VLAN tagging as I’d like to separate my private network from the guest network.
- Natanael_L 11y agoInteracting with security hardware? Smart locks, FIDO alliance protocols, etc?
- tired_man 11y agoThat would not be an option I'd consider. I think controlling your locks without the use of an outside entity is the safest way to avoid problems.
