Hi, I have an OpenWrt One and I've just bought an M.2 2230 SSD to put it in. However, having opened up the machine I've discovered that there's no 2230 post attached. There is a 2242 post attached. I presumed this was screwed in so got pliars on it to try and unscrew. Having got nowhere, I look…

[image] rah: What have other people received? Did your board come with a means of attaching the 2230 post? Just like this: https://openwrt.org/start#openwrt_one_router_officially_launched

[image] RuralRoots: Just like this I presume yours was form a different batch then. Could you say when you recieved it?

[image] RuralRoots: I totally missed that, thanks. Clearly this is the new norm: the OpenWrt One does not support M.2 2230 cards. It needs something else, possibly some soldering, possibly a screw (sold separately?!) to be able to support M.2 2230. And no information whatsoever from SinoVo…

I've added a note to the wiki page: [OpenWrt Wiki] OpenWrt One

[image] RuralRoots: it supports both We're using the word "support" differently. What I mean when I say 2230 is not supported is that when you receive the product, you're not able to insert a 2230 card in the M.2 slot with the product as-is. You have to physically modify the product in orde…

There are adapter kits to attach to a 2230 drive so it fits into a 2242 slot. This would leave the board unmodified so a 2242 drive could potentially be fitted later without a 2230 post in the way.
