They’re low-spec, often fanless, and come with 4 Ethernet ports. You can often get them for roughly the same price as a router. You will need to provide your own WiFi AP with this method. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Damage@feddit.it 1 point 7 months ago Hmmm... so if you install a router os on a pc that's made outside the US, will that make you a criminal? permalink fedilink source parent
