Exceeded expectations
Setup as a VLAN router and it handles traffic effortlessly. The heat dissipation via the aluminum case is efficient; no fan noise at all.

Best value router board available
Replaced my expensive commercial router with this. Throughput is excellent, and the power consumption is very low. Highly recommended for firewall applications.

Fast and compact
Very impressed with the speed of the RK3568 chip. The form factor fits perfectly in my rack. Only wish it came with a power adapter included.

Great hardware, minor software quirks
Hardware build quality is exceptional. The CNC case feels premium. Had some initial trouble with the NVMe driver on Ubuntu, but community support helped resolve it quickly.

Perfect for Home Lab Networking
The dual 2.5G ports are a game changer for my home server setup. The metal case keeps it cool even under heavy load, and OpenWrt installation was straightforward.
