I am building my personal private cloud. I am considering using second hand dell optiplexes as worker nodes, but they only have 1 NIC and I’d need a contraption like this for my redundant network.
Then this wish came to my mind. Theoretically, such a one box solution could be faster than gigabit too.
This is the way to do it for minipcs in my experience. As long as for some reason the box you’re using only allows for a whitelist of wlan cards to be used, but I haven’t run into any that does that yet.
