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 dont 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 2.4GHz because of broken LAR.
  • Almost all wireless cards only support one band at the same time (no dual-band AP).
  • Realtek Wireless cards dont work at all (no wonder).
  • Hostapds configuration file is … interesting.
  • Regulatory stuff is fun.
