Review: Very good - Great lil router, can't fault it!
Review: Great hardware for OPNsense - I run a home router on this device using OPNsense. It works perfectly for my purposes, although I think it is perhaps slightly expensive for a mini PC with a fairly dated CPU (a J3060, which is a 2016 CPU). It does however seem to be very stable and more than powerful enough for a basic router/firewall. It might struggle to run more sophisticated IPS/IDS systems. It also doesn't support some newer instruction sets e.g. AVX which could be a limiting factor for some use-cases.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many dimm slots ?**
A: 1 SODIMM - up to 8GB DDR3L

**Q: Its compatible with sophos XG Home firewall?**
A: It should work with Sophos, since this is basically just a small computer with two network ports.  I bought one of these and put 4GB RAM and a 60GB SSD in it.  I tried to use it as a basic router with pfSense on it, and the performance was awful.  I had to remove it and put my Edgerouter ERX back in place.  I don't know if the performance problem was with pfSense, or with the network ports.  Installing the RAM and SSD was easy.  I tried to load pfSense from a DVD, but it would never complete booting.  I setup a USB stick to boot and load pfSense, and it was quick and easy.  Performance of the computer itself seems good, but network performance with pfSense was awful.

**Q: What chip is using the nic? is it intel?**
A: These devices have the Intel i211-AT PHY.  Further information about the platform, including a datasheet, can be found on the protectli website

**Q: Is there room for a standard length pci-e ( usb ) expansion card inside? interested in adding a sierra wireless mc7455 (or similar) LTE module.**
A: No, there is not room for expansion cards.  There is only room for the RAM module, the mSata SSD, and the mini wi-fi card option that they sell.

### ⭐ Did not arive with advertisted universal power adapter
*by Y***N on 9 November 2023*

The photos for the product showed a power adapter that comes with several different plug types for different contries. The supplied power supply is not only a different style, but does not come with these adapters, meaning I am unable to plug the device in without first purchasing another power supply, which I could have done at the same time had I known.
