Hi,
could you please share the spare parts you have used for the active fan
Do you use a second psu for the fan ?
Thanks
Hi,
why you do not recommend ? Due to current draw from the PSU ?
Too noisy!

OK. It will sit in my basement 
So not an issue for me 
But this is not as good as X86
The NanoPI R2S metal shell has a good cooling(30-50 degrees Celsius) and quiet effect. Mine has been running for several weeks and is stable. The temperature is normal and there is nothing to worry about. 5 watt low power consumption.

I have Intel J1900 4X Intel i120 Ethernet, but it consumes a lot more power than NanoPI R2S, and I prefer NanoPI R2S over the Intel J1900 
IPQ8071A is better than J1900
J1900 OpenSSL

it's order from aliexpress resseler,
but the Belgium post go crazy,
he charge 24 euro for the managment fee.
The final price is calculated using this formula (item value + shipping price + post managment fee) + 21% of vat
the first build failed so i have done
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
and now i see :
WARNING: Makefile 'package/feeds/packages/sqm-scripts/Makefile' has a dependency on 'kmod-sched-cake-virtual', which does not exist
WARNING: your configuration is out of sync. Please run make menuconfig, oldconfig or defconfig!

It seems to be only USB2 which is probably too slow for a wifi AP.
Yes, its an USB2.
Theoretically, USB2 can reach a max of 480Mbps. That's doesn't seem to be the practical case though. Considering copying from a USB3 HDD through a USB2, copy speeds like 20-30MBps can be easily achieved.
Taking this as reference, its should have enough bandwidth to host a 5Ghz Wireless USB card providing speeds like 15-20MBps. But the design aspects of USB2 makes this impossible.
Hence, USB2 wireless card will never be a decent wireless AP.
This isn't aimed to be sort of portable router, for that checkout the gl-inet routers. This is more of a perfomance SBC designed for networking application for SOHO.
Depending on the users there are lots of different uses cases. Manufacturer can't satisfy all of them. Looking at the Rk3328, there's is only one USB3 possible, and two USB2, and two PHY interface with one phy at 100M and other at 1000M. USB3 is already being used with rtl8152. Hence, that leaves only the two USB2s.
That's disappointing.
Oh well.
I was hoping for a Rasperry Pi4 killer router. 
If you look in terms of a VPN router (shadowsocks/wireguard/openvpn), this device will crush the raspberry pi 4 with its armv8 crypto extensions.
It can do wireguard at gigabit speeds.
SCP copy with aes-128-cbc, it reached ~50MBps.
This device also has only 1Gig of RAM, compared to 4GB or 8GBs of RAM in raspberry pi 4. But, OpenWrt will happily run in just 512MB ram with the highest loads without any complaints.

Is Chacha20-poly1305 (as used by wireguard and I think the default for shadowsocks) hardware accelerated? I thought it was only AES?
