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.
- 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.
