## Purpose

It is my main storage server
that is responsible for handling storage and processing of big files
to which I need a high throughput connection.
It also acts as a router for my home network
and provides a wireless access point.

## Notes on Wireless

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 a 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.
