These are nice machines for running a bunch of innocuous dockers — like a raspberry pi but x86. I have a few of these for adguard, tailscale, the whole vstftp/nginx/mqtt/nodered/grafana/influxdb/portainer setup for home automation and more.

And if you find something like M.2 A/E to RJ45 adapter, and get a small 3D printed bracket, they are pretty damn good for pfsense/opnsense too!

Does this come with Antennae? What is the exact processor model number?

Yes, Antenna will be included.

Do usb ethernet adapters (1g & 2.5g) work stably on these or m.2 to rj45 is the only recommended way to get 2 ethernet ports on these?

Should be OK for a plex server. I think J4105 supports intel hardware encoding as far as I can tell.

@rsaeon Will above work for pfsense/opensense/openwrt etc, basically a x86 router.

Apparently they also support SFP: https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/wyse/5070/

Paid for one machine.

Found this Spec sheet of this machine, might be useful for potential buyers:

I haven't needed to use the ASIX usb nics I have on these machines since they're just in a two-node cluster for the home network , but they're very stable.

Current uptime is 58 days! We have multiple power cuts a day but these use so little power, they're very easy to keep online.

It's been "set it and forget it" with how reliable they've been (probably need to do updates though).

edit: to answer your question, the ASIX usb nics have been stable under Linux in my experience and should work fine for a x86 router setup, but I haven't tried that with them. I had one on a thin client for over a year before I upgraded to a Lenovo tiny.

edit edit: Relevant user experience I found some years ago: https://blog.kroy.io/2019/12/08/the-wyse-5070-a-perfect-little-vyos-device/

That's for the pentium version, which I had some years ago but sold to another member here. The pentium models were strangely less stable than these celeron ones. It's probably because software support is much more mature now for these platforms.
