Great device for OPN/Pfsense.

Used this to make a router. Works great - does Quality of Service at better then GB speeds.

Product failed in 36 days. No returns. BEWARE

I was able to grab the N5105 barebones version and then ordered a 2x8gb ddr kit and a 256gb nvme (overkill for both).

I have been running a QOTOM-Q355G4 24/7x365 as my OPNsense router since 2017 and it has never gone down. Thats going to be a hard act to follow, but its getting old so I used 2.5Gbe as an excuse to upgrade to this box.

Got >1gbps internet service but didnt want to use the xfinitys router. Was skeptical of this thing, but it worked great. Installed opnsense and everything pretty much just worked.

Popped 2 sticks of RAM for a total of 32GB into the barebone version (Corsair Vengeance Performance... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GSS6FLK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) and it booted right up from a usb stick with opnsense. I installed on an old intel 180GB ssd drive I had already. SSD mounts nicely inside and cable was provided which is great. Stays warm at about 58C but this seems expected. This thing is a beast so far. Using it with Orbi RBR50 mesh network in AP mode. Works great. Also have a DMZ raspberry pi webserver isolated. Working on getting 1Gbps Wireguard VPN working.

As the title states, it will no longer power on after 5 months for no apparent reason.

I purchased 16 GB this RAM: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B8NTKC19/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1

I was surprised to see that PFSense 2.6.0 was installed, but I wiped the drive and did a fresh install of PFSense. Setup was easy and getting it online just took minutes. My old router needed to be rebooted every couple of weeks, Im hopeful this firewall setup will be more stable!
