Title: Replacement for APU4D4, SSD, WLAN, LTE
Post by: Anfaenger on January 29, 2024, 05:43:29 PM
Hello
I'm looking for new hardware with SIM card readers to replace my current APU4D4 boards.

Until now:
APU4D4 (4x LAN)
16GB SSD
WiFi card
4G LTE card

Simultaneous operation of LTE and WLAN is required.

What hardware do you use?

The performance of the APU4D4 is sufficient so far, but the delivery situation and end of life are a problem.

I looked at a Protectli solution with a VP2420 but the price is a factor of 2 compared to the APU4D4 solution......

This would fit LTE, but not Wifi. Why not using a single AP? Most of the times it runs way faster than Wifi on OPN

Dont do AP/Wifi on a FW,

Get a standalone device capable OpenWRT.
