OK, thanks Jim, good to know. Do you mean this to apply to USB wifi only? There are cheap mPCIe atheros-based wifi cards for the PCEngine APU board. Are they known to be reliable? > You can pick up the 8 port HP switches (e.g. 1810-8G aka J9802A) for less > than $100 these days. > No fan, so noise-free. < 8W maximum. Yes, thank you for mentioning that - I had seen that yesterday and their power specs had escaped me when I looked at them previously (some of those similar models do guzzle it). That's my plan B, but I really don't like to use VLANs when I can avoid the clutter and complexity (more bugs, more time spent). A pfsense box with more ports is much easier.
