Performance Wise

We successfully executed a straightforward speed test by running the Ookla Speedtest windows app while connected to our laptop through a network cable. During this process, we SSH to the device and monitored the RV2 CPU cores to identify their peak performance. Our test yielded positive results, indicating that 45% of CPU resources were active across three CPU cores out of four.

Fantastic buy. OpenWRT compatible only on the snapshot version, but it runs smoothly. Strange choice to put PoE on the WAN port: my LAN switch has PoE, so I swapped WAN and one of the LAN ports to make it work.

Bought a CR1220 battery, but no way to have RTC work.
Bought an M.2 disk, but it seems not recognized (maybe because is a SATA one, not NVME: very difficult to find M.2 NVME disks with B-Key).
Lacks a lot of informations and settings…

Try the ImmortalWrt snapshot, its better. SATA shouldn’t work, so your right.
