Is the WIFI preorder about to be launched?

Not yet, we will likely start this in January.

Given the question of PPPoE connections has come up above, I can confirm being able to saturate my 1Gbps connection which uses PPPoE from my ISP with my ProtectLi box which also uses the Celeron J6412. This is with the Intrusion Prevention System enabled only on the Red interface.

How do you test that saturation?

Off topic: I have a nano-PC with a N100 processor, and I can’t see any signs of struggling with a 400MBps fiber connection. I don’t think I need more than that in a home, even with two people working remotely from home.

What’s the status of the WIFI edition?

If one were to purchase a new mini appliance - would the old box WiFi fit the new black-box?

According to the producer,
the current box size should be 168 x 32 x 183 mm
the old box size should be 168 x 30 x 157 mm

For both add the antenna depth.

We are targeting a release in Q1 still. The upcoming Core Update will contain some important groundwork for this.

If you are interested in becoming a beta tester, feel free to contact me.

Yes, but we are aiming for WiFi 7 with the new generation whereas the old one is WiFi 5.
