I have just signed up to this forum and have some questions regarding my T70 box. But first, I have a couple of questions about the OPNsense forum:

1. Why does searching for "OpenSense" get you the netgate form which is for the pfSense product? I then get an admin telling me that I am "unlikely to find much love for OPNSense here on the pfSense forum". The why are they subverting the search results to exploit what must be a common mis-spelling?

2. Why did I have to look for a link in small print at the bottom of the OPNsense website to find this forum?

So now on to the T70. I acquired one a couple of weeks back running OpenWRT and its now my Broadband router. Recently I got another cheaply as a backup and it was suggested to me that I could try running OPNsense on it. I have purchased an additional mSata disk to create the install but need some instructions. I would also like to know how OPNsense and OpenWRT differ from one another and why installing OPNsense might be an advantage? I won't ask any questions about pfSense as I suspect the above feeling might be mutual....

I would also be interested to know whether OPNsense has solved the problem with the 5-port switch, or whether that still requires the resistor mod?
I asked over on OpenWRT and it seems that developers have moved on and there will be no further development there so possibly the same here, but presumably it can't hurt to ask.
