Is it an AMI BIOS? If it is, tell me where to download it, and I might be able to get you set up.

That will work fine. IIRC, that was in response to someone who couldn't get the 12V.

You're at ~3W at idle. The peak is ~17W so your speedtest adds 14W.

An N100 should take you pretty far. You mentioned QOS so if you choose to use Linux, I think you could pretty easily do CAKE shaping at 1Gb/s on the N100.

The top one is your package power so it’s the main one you care about. You can see in your first spike it went up 13-14W. That’s on par with what I get when doing a 1Gb/s download with NAT and CAKE shaping.

I use netdata, which has a powercap graph. A simpler method is to use the s-tui tool.

I'm guessing your numbers are at the wall. Mine are what the CPU is reporting as its power consumption. The max TDP is 55W so a dissipation of 47W is pretty close to allowing full use of the CPU indefinitely. At 55W it draws around 90W at the wall if memory serves.

The passive cooling in this one is actually pretty good. IIRC, my testing showed it could dissipate around 27W without a fan. With a fan on top it can dissipate around 47W. For reference, mine runs about 15W when doing a 1Gb/s download with NAT and CAKE traffic shaping.

Agreed. This is one of the things I didn't like about OPNSense. Before I've even added any of my own rules there were a whole bunch of rules I didn't care about. I use nftables rather than iptables, though. I really like it.

This one. It's the same as my 1235, just with the 8505 instead. I get to use my unlocked BIOS for it as well. If you're interested in shaping with CAKE, the openwrt forum is the place with the best info. I adapted that CAKE script you're referencing to use on my bare metal Debian install. CAKE...

The 8505 has a much better thermal design that uses heat pipes.

I do the same, except I use Debian. I use ansible to deploy my router config, and my playbooks are stored in a git repo. This means I get excellent version control and offsite backups (git repo is pushed to a private github repo). I recently bought an 8505 so I could move my 1235u to media...

I'm the wrong person to ask then :) I use debian and install all of my router functionality on top of that using ansible. The only graphical stuff is netdata, which is what I use for monitoring. I started with OPNSense. There were some things I didn't like, but for someone who just wants a...

I just downloaded it from the above link and verified it contains the mods. Are you sure you downloaded the most recent one? My machines are in service so I can't actually test it myself. If someone else could verify it would help.

I would not buy a n305 because the thermal design of this particular case cannot support it. You will always throttle if you max out the n305. I have the 1235u version of this design, except it has a much better thermal design built into the case (heat pipes), but it can still only dissipate...

I figured out how to modify the bios without having to pull it apart and put it back together again. You should see a whole bunch of information now on the main page and a reserved menu in the advanced page. I updated the BIOS update post so you can download the 06-08 version from here. I...

The only thing I've ever had 100% success rate with is Rufus. Unfortunately, it is windows only. On mac I've used Balena Etcher, but I have had cases where the resulting USB failed to boot.

Give this a shot: 7.68 MB file on MEGA

Yes, this should work.

No idea. I just flashed an 8505 with no issues.
