Which MiniPC did you use? I'm considering a similar setup, so options to consider would be welcome.



Looks like it was a Gigabyte GB-BXBT-2807[1]

I added a 32gb ssd drive and a USB Ethernet dongle as well (for 2nd interface).

The box has wifi, but no driver support from FreeBSD. My WIFI is supplied via a UniFI AC LITE.

Thanks. I've looked at the AC Lite and the AC PRO also, but haven't narrowed the search for a small box to run the router.

Seems the box you linked to has only 1 ethernet port. How do you connect to both WAN and AP?


I added a USB <-> ethernet adapter. I didn't love the idea , but I researched a bit and bought a FreeBSD supported one (Linksys).

Have had 0 problems with it so far.
