Review on Protectli Vault FW6A Firewall Micro Appliance/Mini PC - 6 Port, Intel Dual Core, AES-NI Barebone by Allen Wagner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My new favorite networking hardware.

These little things are amazing, I'm using this as a complete overkill home router / server and it's *awesome*, best router I've ever owned. If you're tired of dealing with firmware and just want a router which is a real computer so you can run NixOS / Debian / FreeBSD / whatever on it, get this.I'm running mine with the 2.4ghz wifi module purchased separately and a 5ghz USB wifi dongle. If somebody would just make dual radio wifi chipsets for PCs it would be *perfect*, but using two separate adapters seems to work fine.

Pros
  • ‎Linux
Cons
  • The device is not very suitable for gaming or running high-performance applications
