Great pick for a cost-effective Intusion Prevention System
I recommend buying the barebones version of this router and then adding RAM & SSD at a much lower cost than buying it built in. I did that and built a router/IPS (running OPNsense) for less than £200 that outperforms branded hardware costing 2-3 times as much.

works ok with my OPNSense install
Chose the barebones version and added an M2 NVME card and 16Gb RAM. First thing I noticed is this is packaged well and when I opened the unit to insert the above cards I found the construction feels solid. I looked on my Amazon but there is no documents or support for this device. So far, I haven't needed any as I worked out how to configure the bios to boot a OPNSense usb stick I made from my Linux box. Although there are couple of blanked-off holes labelled with Wifi symbols, there is in fact no wireless hardware included. I now have OPNSense installed and now currently testing the device for speed and stability. I've also 3D designed a mount so I can attach this unit to a monitor. With the fanless design the It does run warm to the touch and I'll see how that goes in the UK Summer.

Superb little router, but runs HOT!
Shipping was pretty quick. What you get is pretty sparse, just the unit and power supply (well packaged), and nothing else.This is a nicely made device, and gthe migration I performed from my older system running pfSense to the new box was seamless, requiring a manual edit the Interface and VLAN names directly in the backup XNL files ( and ensuring the pfSense versions between the boxes were in sync ).Power consumption, for me at least, is now between 10-20W presently, which is excellent, representing a 5x saving over the previous box. The only issue I can see is that the machine reports a temperature >40ºC, but research tells me this isn't too unusual, something to keep an eye on I suppose!

Fantasic little device
Added my own memory and ssd. Now running PFSense and controlling my home network. Great value

Nice Silent OPNSense Router
No issues so far running as an opnsense router, quite warm(hot) to the touch but that's to be expected as the case is one big heatsink :)bought barebones and added 8GB DDR5 B0C79F1T23 and 256GB NVME B07ZH6QR8Q

Great device and matches expectations.
Really satisfied with this, I have it running Proxmox, with PFSense using PCIe passthrough, a small K3S control plane, DNS server and it handles it perfectly. 32GB of RAM works perfectly too. The only thing is that it can get quite warm, it's living in a cold room but I would worry if it was in a 20c living space with temps. Power draw is just 10w without any tuning.

Excellent router/firewall, but runs hot.
Arrived next-day using Amazon Prime's excellent delivery service.Despite claims of a 10-15 C lower temperature, this device runs hot at around 40 Celsius. The previous reviewer (Stephen H) says it's not unusual according to his research, so hopefully it's not an issue. I need to keep an eye on this when the summer comes.Build quality looks really good. It is heavy compared to the other mini-PC I have, which indicates that there is a lot of metal there, apparently for the cooling.BIOS is already configured to use memory at 4800 MHz, unlike other systems where you have to adjust this.I chose the 'No RAM, No Storage' option as I had a spare 512GB NVMe drive at home. Added 16 GB of DDR5 memory for £36, so the total cost is around £144. Not bad for a 2.5 GB router/firewall, with the option to run some LXCs/Docker containers on the side.Installing Proxmox & OpnSense was quick & easy. It replaced a Smoothwall gigabit firewall (8 GB RAM/256 GB SSD) running the same configuration (Proxmox/OpnSense). The new system uses less energy, and is a lot more powerful.
