It has 2 ethernet jacks, wifi, and draws 5W.
- FraaJad 15y agoPlease, for the love of all that is holy, please stay away from Guru plugs. I got three (I wanted one, boss ordered three, sigh!) of these to develop on a "ARM", when Tonido did not have enough in stock. These sound like a small turbine. It is impossible to work with these switched on. The earlier versions were heating up so badly and melting electronics, that the manufacturer decided to put a crappy fan inside and create a new problem.
- dstein 15y agoThey have another version that is silent, dreamplug.
- jws 15y agoI've been using dreamplugs. They are nicely done. They aren't tiny like a wall wart, more like a tall paper back book, but I've happily replaced all of my OpenWRT based systems and won't look back. Get the JTAG/UART device, it will save your ass when you render the poor thing unbootable with a kernel replacement. There appears to be a network boot attempt in the power up, but I haven't seen documentation for it. One caveat: The wifi range is ok, but not top notch, and when running as an access point it can only support 8 devices, which isn't much when people show up with a phone-ipad-laptop bag.
- nitrogen 15y agoWait, GuruPlugs have fans? I own two, and though they spend most of their time in their original packaging, I don't recall hearing any noise when I plugged them in. I also have a SheevaPlug installed in an uncooled building that regularly exceeds 100F in the summers, and it seems to be doing fine after replacing the crappy original PSU with their updated version.
- FraaJad 15y agoI have the guruplug server (2 network interfaces) version. Yes. they do have fans.
