For $60 that seems pretty killer. And I assume x86 means less "idiosyncratic" software. I wonder if its WiFi supports AP mode; this might be a nice little WAP.
Edit: I really want to see pricing for 16GB RAM; this could be a good desktop!
Edit 2:
WiFi 5 & BT 5 for 4GB RAM model
WiFi 6 & BT 5.2 for 8GB RAM or more models
Small caveat. Still great.
- entropicdrifter 2y ago>And I assume x86 means less "idiosyncratic" software. It does. My N100 mini PC runs plain ol' LMDE. Intel chipset/GPU/etc drivers are and have been rock solid on Linux since forever. Very much a "just works" situation
- pseudosavant 2y agoThis looks like my next router with OpenWRT. I've had a Pi4 running OpenWRT great, but I love how things just work on x86, and an M2 SSD would be a big upgrade from microSD. The 10gbps USB ports are especially good for USB ethernet adapters >1gbps. I wouldn't use the wifi as I use 'dump APs' for the wireless part of my network. I'm curious how the RP2040 shows up when running Windows, even if that isn't what I'd do.
