All good. No need to apologize. Keep up the good work! Might look into this thing for openWRT.

I had one of these back in 2016 - it could be argued that it was my first step into modern homelabing. I bought it to make a router - in my case I ran the free version of Untangle. I was wanting to decouple my WAP from my router - which previously was an Apple AirPort Extreme - to get better coverage in a very saturated condo environment. It worked well for this purpose for several years until I got a Dream Machine. As you've shown us, it was no powerhouse - but it was stable, silent and sipped power - which is exactly what I needed it to be back then!
