Nope but I passed thru a USB Zigbee radio just fine to my HAOS VM on one.Has anyone tried a cell modem which these devices?
I'm sure a USB cell modem should work.

I had a CT w/ docker and wg-easy already but thought it would be better integration in OPNsense w/ plugin and wg interface. In the end I did as you suggested, kept the CT and just configured port forwarding. It took me two days because of changing IP of my docker CT (it didn't identify by MAC) and some misconfiguration on the OPNsense side. However, it is working "perfectly splendid" now. As you say, QR code config is so convenient that even if it is only for my phone it is worth it!wg easy is the way to go in my opinion. Sometimes I had issues with the wg plugin of opnsense, and it wasn't really stable all the time and for every version. I dropped this idea, instead I just run a small lxc container in Proxmox, with wg easy as container. I also love wg easy for providing QR codes, which makes adding mobile phones very easy.
How did you disable the LAN ports?I followed the same instruction from page 4. I am using Unraid, my power consumption with only USB flash and an SD card and only using LAN0 is about 6W. I have LAN1-3 all disabled completely. I have the Crucial 48GB memory stick.
Any usb peripheral or video output adds watts.
With 2 SSDs I am at 11W mark.
I saw disabling ethernets in BIOS, don't remember which n100 variant was used, but some had these optionsI'd like to know that as well. In the BIOS I didn't find anything regarding this.
I suspected it will end up that way... I presume lanes 1-4 are the main NVMe (seeing that they are bonded in the BIOS of mine), so guess I'll start at the higher onesIn the Bios, PCIe settings. Disable one or more lanes and check what is no more working. This can be a NIC or a nvme drive.

EDIT: I replaced the RAM and it appears to be working fine now.
I purchased an N100 from Topton on AliExpress from this link. I heard they used Crucial for RAM/SSD, so I purchased the 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD option for a total of only $248. I loaded Proxmox with two VMs--OPNsense and HAOS. CPU usage was in the teens or less, memory usage was low. Thermals were unusually high and the device was very hot to the touch.
It worked for a couple days, then it began crashing once a day. I ran memtest86 on the RAM and it passed the first test, then rebooted during the second test, and passed the third test. I also tested the SSD with CrystalDiskInfo which received a healthy result. As far as I can tell, the SSD and RAM are in fine working condition, although they are both from companies I've never heard of (SK hynix ram and Huadisk SSD).
I noticed the thermals were at 81c during the memtest, so I assumed the issue was overheating and placed a small box fan next to the unit and left it there overnight. The box was cool to the touch and thermals were down to ~40c at idle (previously in the 70s at idle). When I woke up, the device had crashed and again was unresponsive. The thermals were still at 40c right before the crash.
I attempted to reinstall Proxmox, however it then booted into the UEFI Interactive Shell after install. Tried the install again and it crashed immediately. I tried to boot to the BIOS but it crashed immediately.
At this point I believe there is likely a fault in the CPU or motherboard. I was going to try replacing the SSD and/or RAM, but based on the test results that seems like a futile effort. If anyone has any ideas here I'd love to hear them. I'm pretty sure the box is just dead, but if there's a way to fix it that would be the ideal solution.
At this point my plan is to open a return and refund request on AliExpress due to the item being defective and receive a full refund. There doesn't appear to be a return and replace option as far as I can tell, and at this point I'd likely prefer to get one from CWWK, even though I got a huge discount ordering on Black Friday. I have never returned anything on AliExpress before and have been dreading this process after reading numerous awful experiences here and on reddit.
Does anyone have any advice on how to go through the return process on AliExpress? Will they send me a prepaid shipping label? It seems like the return shipping is often where things get complicated.
EDIT: I replaced the RAM and it appears to be working fine now.

Hmm.CT48G56C46S5 48G is not compatible with the N305 V2 with 8 USB ports.
CT32G48C40S5 32G is perfectly compatible with the N305 V2 with 8 USB ports.
Proven on a local forum in my home country with 4 different boxes and 4 different 48G memory modules. The new N305 V2 with 8 USB ports (2x 3.x USB and 6x 2.0USB) is not compatible with the 48G module of Crucial.
Yes it boot, and you are able to run proxmox but then out of the blue the box start crashing in the upcoming 10 days. Did some extensive test, and 3 other users, and all of us getting memory errors when running the box for several hours with the 48G SO-DIMM CT48G56C46S5. Memory temps reaching out to 137degrees Celsius...and causing issues.
Quite hard to diagnose, because the box need to reach his maximum temperatures, even with the bottom fan it crashes during the backup window while it is saving the VM's to another disk. For now the strange crashes I had with the 48G module are gone with the 32G module. Let's monitor for the upcoming days.

I have the n305 and running out with 5 nvmes works fine for me.Is it safe right now to buy one of these N100 CWWK boxes with the 4x NVMe support if we do truly want to use all 4 NVMe ports? I want to build a hybrid NAS/virt box using one. Some of the earlier posts aren't super promising about the NVMe actually working correctly.
The RAM that failed was SK hynix 16gb DDR5. I'm not sure which model number but in my original post you can see the barcode and maybe match it to something.Could you please share which RAM you swapped for which RAM?
The only concern I read about is the for the NVMe slots 2,3,4 are not working with ASPM power saving. Thats because they re-use a WiFi PCIe slot which somehow works different.Is it safe right now to buy one of these N100 CWWK boxes with the 4x NVMe support if we do truly want to use all 4 NVMe ports?

It's quite easy, make a bootable USB stick with the memory test below. This memory test is way better than the embedded one from Proxmox (the blue screen). With all the multicore load this memory test below gives, its easier to detect problems.Hmm.
I am *extremely* new to the Prox Eco (for what that's worth), but if you could give me a rough set of steps-to-recreate, I would be willing (I have the time).
I have not seen temps >~42C, but I have a Noctua 12x12 sitting on top.

No strange shutdowns. Just getting Prox running without pulling my remaining hair out has been the challenge (hardware takes it fine, but I just don't "get" it, yet (let-alone getting things to a point where I can do backups)).Did you experience any strange shutdowns? Without the real life outages, I would have never noticed this memory issues with this module. Its that the box switches off during the backup window of proxmox where it is zipping and copying files between both NVMe's
Yes, that's the one.closed source memtest86
I'm not getting this, where is the H located? Dit you run the tests for 4 passes, until you noticed the green passmark/finshed sign?I just have the h-board with two nvme's
