256MiB SPI NAND Flash and 16 MiB SPI NOR flash storage
M.2 2242/2230 socket for PCIe Gen 2 x1 SSD (bring your own storage)
MediaTek MT7976C dual-band WiFi 6 support (2×2 2.4 GHz and 3×3 5 GHz)
1 x USB 2.0 Type-A host port
1 x USB Type-C (device, console)
RTC backup battery support
PoE support
MikroBUS socket for expansion modules
It has a USB port and an M2 NVME slot. As someone else noted, USB is usually considered a poor choice due to speed and reliability, so I would suggest nvme.
I order one too replace my ten+ year old asus. I can install open wrt on it, but since i didn't have a transition router as a placeholder I had to pick up something newish.
Yeah it's only wifi 6, but that's fine. Any one have first time tips with this device?

Wonder if that m.2 slot could be used for a wifi card that supports wifi 6E provided that openwrt has drivers

Probably

Nice! I wish it had a USB port for setting up NAS, though.

I'm a bit unfamiliar with NVME, I'll look into that maybe instead.

It doesn't have a lot of ram so it isn't great for a NAS. Better to use dedicated hardware

Using this as a NAS would be an odd choice indeed - it’s unequivocally a router.

Setting up NAS? Anything over USB is going to be slower than LAN, isn't it (which is still your bottleneck anyway)?

If you've never used OpenWrt, you might find the web UI (called LuCI) unintuitive. The OpenWrt wiki can help you out.

Ok thanks. I font have a lot of settings to migrate, mostly just dhcp reservations.

Anyone in the UK ordered or tried one of these yet?
