# shinobu ## Hardware Protectli Vault Pro VP2420. * CPU: [Intel Celeron J6412](https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/214758/intel-celeron-processor-j6412-1-5m-cache-up-to-2-60-ghz.html) (4 × 2.0 GHz) * RAM: [8 GB Crucial DDR4-2666 SO-DIMM `CT8G4SFRA266.M8FRS`](https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct8g4sfra266) * PSU: Channel Well Technology 60 W (12 V, 3.333 A) * SSD: 120 GB Protectli SATA M.2 * NIC: 4 Intel i225-V (2.5GbE) * Wireless: Intel Wireless-AC 9260 * FINTEK F81232 USB to UART bridge (for easy serial console) * Dasharo coreboot firemware ## Purpose It is the main router for my home network. ## Misc Notes While it has 16 GB of eMMC (unlike the 8 GB advertised on Protectli’s product page), I don’t trust the eMMC enough to run the system from it. ## Notes on Wireless (copied from fuuko’s previous README) TL;DR: Never try to build an AP yourself, just get a dedicated AP and use OpenWrt. * Wireless cards are M.2 A+E key and don’t fit in an M.2 E key slot, because apparently using USB for Bluetooth is a good idea. * Intel Wireless cards only support AP mode on 2.4 GHz [because of broken LAR](https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206469). * Almost all wireless cards only support one band at the same time (no dual-band AP). * Realtek Wireless cards don’t work at all (no wonder). * Hostapd’s configuration file is … interesting. * Regulatory stuff is fun. ## Name Shinobu Oshino (previously known as Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade) is a Vampire Oddity from the Monogatari Series.
