    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    ^^^^^ I agree. I love the mad scientist Shenzhen-zone tech banditry coming out now. I fantasize about someone making NAS appliances out of the Intel Lunar Lake x258v laptop chips with presoldered ddr5 that absolutely sips power / runs cool. The 258v is a SHOCKINGLY good APU and would be...

    Will better router have noticeably better wifi signal?

    I didn't misunderstand, I just thought I was on servethehome for people with jobs, and not a how-to scam EBT cards reddit subforum. I don't consider spending $200 as a lot of money for something I use and rely everyday, clearly thats outside of your budget. Read what I wrote and buy a 4x4...

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    I looked at this hard as well. It is a very proven solution based on the shear number of people using it. The CPU is definitely more beefy than the n100. The low power draw only applies to the lower c-state OS like windows / linux. I didn't find a single opnsense / pfsense instance showing...

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    I looked hard at the Qotom offerings but went with a N100 router I married to a x710-da2 just to use newer 10gig / n100 intel offerings. I posted it here and am aware it doesn't pass the sexy test. https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/new-sfp-n100-n305-router.44776/post-454348 I...

    New SFP+ n100/n305 Router

    I bought one of these from Amazon CWWK store (barebone $160) and married it to a x710 low profile PCIE card off ebay (dell) for $30. I added a couple of metal straps to secure it and protect it from accidental bangs. I called it the jank-router over on Reddit. Rock solid, but certainly...
