I use this as my home router, works a charm with a few flavours of OpenWRT; decent thermals from the aluminium case with very little airflow and only a few services like (AdBlock, OpenVPN, netdata etc) - tops out at around 45c here in a UK garage racked homelab.

I get maxxed out performance on each port of 920/920 but I never touch the sides of that even with hosted services such as games, media, self-hosted, dev-stuff etc.

Hi

If you are interested in having a faster storage you can have a look to the Nano Pi Neo3, it is almost the same boards. Neo 3 is a bit older, with a plastic body instead of metal and a USB3 connector with has been replaced by a second gigabit connector in R2C. Almost th same boards, different use case

I have several Neo 3 used as compute node and i'm happy with these boards. I juste ordered a R2C to test and build a small network filtering box with gigabit capabilities

Cheers,
W.
