      so if my sg2220 decides to go out.  this would probably be my next purchase

      i don't like the reviews of the SG1000 so far.  and a 4 port model is too expensive for my tastes.

      thank you for posting this.. i will need to look around for more reviews on this..

      EDIT.    dang it won't work on windows 7.    there goes using it for my ubnt NVR replacement device :(

        We had a discussion about the smaller end of the market under "Official Hardware".
        I believe that the APU2 devices fill this gap better and cheaper.
        I would prefer to use Netgate Hardware when possible, however..

              Will those "consumer" devices have arms or run on 64 leX?  ;)

                  Several factors like CPU type (not just desktop CPU), engineering and design, RAM, storage matter. This little board is a lot better quality than Qotom or similar 3rd party vendors.

                        Amazon is really working themselves into a pickle with all of the fake and counterfeit products they are allowing, aren't they.

                        I was just shopping for an EOtech holosight - about a $550 part - and all of the comments said they were Chinese knockoffs. EOtechs are made in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I did not buy from Amazon.

                          Just for clarification: I e-mailed with Jamie Thompson (owner of Netgate LLC) about delivery of those devices to Europe so I was confident that this offer on a-z is legit. FWIW

                            i didn't subscribe to the thread….  ok so they should be legit good to know.  i still want a backup router, and Netgate hasn't posted any updates on new products i may end up going this way

                                Just set mine up last night.  Hope you are ok with fan noise because depending on your environment, you will definitely notice it.  Maybe it's just me as I get older and crankier.  Ugh…

                                    I use Minnowboard Dual-e with the fan unplugged ;) It's designed to throttle down in case it overheats.

                                      Yeah, I wondered about this.  Nice tip, thanks ivor.  I unplugged it yesterday.

                                        Sure. Here's another tip, use adapter like this to have console access:

                                        https://www.adafruit.com/product/954

                                        You can push cable through the case grill (after you open the case). I don't always keep monitor on or nearby, console is far more practical.

                                          what temp does the quad run @ with the fan going then removed?

                                          from the pictures this is a heatsink/ fan combo correct?

                                          2nd question.  i should be able to restore a back from a sg2220 to this device and it work exactly the same correct?

                                            Completely agree.  I ordered this one same time I ordered the board:
                                            https://www.amazon.com/Converter-Terminated-Galileo-BeagleBone-Minnowboard/dp/B06ZYPLFNB/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1525014741&sr=8-4&keywords=ftdi%2Bserial%2Bcable%2B3v3%2B0.1

                                            but yours is far better due to being able to feed it through the grills.
