DIY Your Own Advanced Router
Compared with common used router, the freedom from the built-in OS is awesome. It supports pfSense, Untangle and so on, just choose one you need. Intel 2.5G LAN is more stable than other brands LAN, only one small problem, i225V/ i226V LAN chip is too new for some old OS. Powerful processor, large memory and 2x M.2 NVME SSD will give you a better experience. To design budget friendly products, this series contains 4 models: Q20331G9_C3758R and Q20332G9_C3758, Q20311G9_C3338R, Q20321G9_C3558R. You can weight the cost and real needs. There is a SATA cable inside, if install 2x M.2 NVME SSD and 1x 2.5 inch SATA SSD/HDD, you can get a home NAS. If the storage capacity is not enough for you, how about our Qotom 4 Bay NAS?
1U Rack for this series is in production. If you prefer to 1U, please back to us some days later.

I ordered the C3558R model with 16gb of ram and a SSD. It arrived to Canada pretty quickly, I had no issues installing OPNsense on it. I did some minor stress testing and found no issues. This device was slow to boot past the UEFI at first. I set it to boot OPNsense first and disable the other options it came with which solved the boot speed.
For building my own Firewall with Opnsense, this is exactly the HW I I was looking for. It feels very solid. I contacted the support for Qotom and got very fast response. I installed Opnsense on it and it is running very smoothly. I highly recommend.
Works with both 64gb of Samsung RAM and 2x PCIe4 NVMes. Do note that it takes several minutes to show any sign of life on first boot after changing the memory. It's not broken! It's expected, just have patience!
