Comment on Turning a mini-pc into a WiFi access point

Use it for a firewall / router, but don’t bother with WiFi. There are no antenna connectors, so it probably doesn’t have a card installed and normal WiFi cards make terrible access points anyways.
If you want to use OPNsense, make sure the NICs are supported. If it has Realtek NICs, you will probably have to use a Linux based firewall.
