Same here. Bluefox was going out of town soon and shipped the router quickly so I did not have to wait another month.

I'm glad you didn't send the AC power cable, because I have plenty of those in a box. Let the downsizing begin.

Sorry, it was an ebay auction with only 1 listed. The seller looks like a flea market dealer not an electronics enthusiast, so will probably never have more.

What exactly does the bypass functionality mean/do?
The NICs have relays that can permit traffic to flow between two of them when the unit is off if you want. Usually used for in-line traffic monitoring/filtering. You can toggle the functionality on/off in the UEFI settings.

Anyone knows how to use ix2 as LAN andix3 as WAN either OpnSense or Pfsense. I assigned They are 2 bypass NIC on the back side. I attach the picture for more clarification.

You can set the NICs to act as normal ones with no bypass functionality in the UEFI settings. At that point you can assign them however you want within the OS.

Thank you for the tips but how do I access UEFI on this M50? I can use only serial port. Thank you!

Via said serial port. Here's a screenshot of an older model. It's identical to using VGA:

This may be too much but it is always better to ask expertise. Is there a way to update or upgrade BIOS/Firmware on this system? If yes how? Thank you!

It is possible, however, it is generally inadvisable to upgrade unless you have a compelling reason to. Why are you wanting to do that? I don't know what BIOS version you have as you didn't buy one of these from me, but all the ones I have on hand have a newer BIOS than what is available from the manufacturer.
