Hardware and Performance / Intel Nuc 12 compatible and Wifi?
« on: February 05, 2024, 04:20:44 am »
I'm new to this whole making a Mini PC secure router/firewall - from a D-link router that hasn't had a firmware update in years..
I found online to buy a Mini PC for the endeavour that's from a major brand, and only a few years back so it still receives support and aforementioned firmware updates
So i decided to go with an Intel Nuc 12 (NUC12WSHi5)
I was just wondering while i wait to receive it (and didn't realize it's a thing i should check):
1 - Can opnsense be used on an Intel Nuc 12?
2 - And more importantly does anyone know if that mini PC has Wifi capabilities and/or opnsense can setup wifi on it?, i need to know before attempting to use it just in case it's not possible since family in the rest of the house relies on wifi connection, and i'd then need to revert back if not and sort something else out
