Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works fine for my purpose

I bought this for a refurbished 3D printer to make it accessible over Wi-Fi without using a Raspberry Pi. It works well for this purpose (set it up for Wi-Fi bridging with MAC address transparency). I'm running it at 12V, which still makes me nervous considering it's nominally expecting 5V, but another reviewer said he overclocked it to 15V, so I think I'm fine. there is another fan nearby :) The device is small, cheap and works. However, as another reviewer mentioned, it has a back door! I mean come on Brothers! I tested it and of course I was able to log in with the backdoor username/password without using my own password that I had set. I've disabled the Wi-Fi hotspot on the device and thankfully I can't see it, and where I am I'm pretty comfortable continuing to use it. but I'm thinking about giving this printer to my son and if/when he takes him to college there's no way I'm sending him this machine for someone to hack into his dorm or something. That's why I'm deducting a star from the rating. Probably two should be shot down.
