Pros

Using it with orbi rbr50 mesh network in ap mode. I haven't yet made any formal measurements of throughput but with video streams running to several tvs and the typical background traffic on my network, proxmox shows the overall cpu utilization to be ...  Read More

New unit works beautifully. I think this machine is easier to configure than the edgerouter lite it replaced. Used this to make a router. One of https://www. Techcrunch. Com/2013/01/29/how-to-set-up-a- router-with-a+ router.

Only concerning thing right now is the heat - its idling around 45 - 50 c which is warmer than i like. Using the optional 80mm fan lowered the cpu temperatures by more than 10 c, from 54 to 43.

It seems to have some onboard speaker/piezo that plays some chimes while booting up. Would of liked to try booting from the tf slot. Only complaint is that the box reboots on it's own after a power down.



Cons

The patriot viper steel is definitely dual ranked and incompatible. There is a jumper inside that locks the unit on 100% of the time and disables the power button. Skill, patriot, and corsair was not clearly labeled.
