Thank you, I'm really glad you posted these. Even though we're using two different CPUs it's comforting to know my temps aren't outrageous based on ambient temperature.

For a $5 difference, no reason not to. Just keep in mind that it might run a bit hotter than the n100.
But definitely worth the $5 difference if you're okay with that.
yeah im going to order the n200, might get the topton n305 on ali too and just compare. doesnt hurt to have two small proxmox boxes
I'm seriously looking at a N100 device (cwwk) and was wondering if anyone has tested this with a 2gb line?
I ran local iperf3 tests, through the device.
Did you notice anything funny going on with the device while it was running the tests? Just trying to make an informed decision. Thinking between this, a mikrotik, or a Unifi for the house.I ran local iperf3 tests, through the device.
I did read the thread he linked and did not see where he stated he had a slow port which was fixed with a bios update and was inquiring if there was anything else he noticed when running the test. things like it jumping to high CPU usage, heat skyrocketed, major packet loss
BIOS update only fixed port 1 slowness, the other 3 were fine all along.
Regarding the tests, all was well. I also ran iperf3 for 10 minutes up & down, with Zenarmor active, no problems.
I have been using the N100 as my work from home firewall since I got it. No quirks noticed.
Also have the UDM SE as the main firewall for the home, with only DPI that one does 10G. IPS/IDS around 3.5G.
As a fellow Ubiquiti user would you move to just the N100 system or stick with the UDM SE. The fact that I have 2gbs internet now is forcing me to sell my edge routers. It's hard to justify to the wife $500 for "just a router" as see says.. Hence why looking at other solutions.
It depends, the UDM is not just a router. You could also sell your wife surveillance, etc
I like the UDM because it neatly integrates into the UniFi ecosystem. It does not have a nerd knob for everything though, UniFi is more Apple-like, using a one-button approach for almost everything. E.g. Suricata on the UDM is a single checkbox, on the OPNsense there's plenty of configuration.
N100 with an OPNsense VM has a lot more options/firewall functions/plugins. And if you run Proxmox on it, you can also spin up additional VMs with HomeBridge etc.
In the end, it depends on your needs...
What Model is this one? It looks like you have 2 SATA ports, 2 M.2 PCIE ports?Looks like this, I'll return it and order a N305 one without all those USB / HDMI extras.

Trying to find one that I can connect a Google Coral M.2, and AsiaRF Wifi adapter, which would require SATA boot.
Thank you lists as out of stock, but I just found it from Tapton on AliExpress... Critical thing to find was 5 NIC to find that motherboard
Hi everyone, just wanted to advise everyone to watch your NVMe temps too.
I noticed my CWWK unit's main NVMe was running hotter than expected.
As mentioned in a previous comment, TopTon unit has an NVMe with a heatsink on it, so no issues there, but the one in the CWWK box did not.
These are my temp results. A heatsink definitely helps with these small boxes.

Hmm, these are desktop devices.
I would not put them in a rack that is not effectively cooled (I would not put anything in such rack TBH
).You can aways cool the case with a USB HiFi rack fan on top, or put in a fan.
Thanks. I do have fans ontop of both units and rack already and have alerts set for if anything inside exceeds 77C.Hmm, these are desktop devices.

It also gets similar temps when outside the rack; which is why I provided the section with temps with a fan blowing directly onto it. There's lots of room in the enclosure, so I'm not too worried about the unit in general as the CPU reads under 50C.
I thought the NVMe heatsink temperature difference was impressive. I'm getting similar temps, if not better, compared to having a massive fan blowing directly on it.
