I bought a device for VyOS at home on a lightning deal with some Amazon Christmas money about two years ago but didn’t realize it was dual realtek… Whenever I would have problems with it, I would swap back to a Mikrotik Hex (which has its own issues)
The realtek attached to the AP will go on the literal blink

As we all know… the house is happy when the wifi doesn’t work… (… having discretionary money is not a norm but, no one is happy when the wifi doesn’t work ) anyway I found this on Amazon and think for $150 that it will run VyOS great… I literally wish I could have spent the extra $20 for the 16G, but…

They had two ‘deals’ which got me $38 off… at the end of it it’s $153, dual eth, 8G ram, 256 NVMe
Also says wifi… but not sure what that is, or if it can work…
Hoping for the best…
(thanks for listening…)
