Please link a SFF box or SoC with:

- 1x10GB SFP+

- 1x2.5GB Ethernet w/ PoE In

- 7x1GB Ethernet w/ PoE In/Out

- powered by DC jack, 2 pin, or PoE

- Similarly sized to 220 × 125 × 22 mm (approx 8.66 × 4.92 × 0.86 inches)

- Max power consumption 150W

- Silent

- ~$300

And I can replace my RB5009Upr+S+IN.

Looks like OpenWrt supports that model, so going that route would be an option of not having locked down software.

Super interesting, I wouldn’t have thought to check that compatibility

Yeah, I will concede the hardware is nice and they offer things nobody else really does. Which makes it even more of a shame that I can’t install my own OS properly on it.

Fwiw I like protectli’s boxes. Not quite as featureful nor as cheap but it’s great kit.
