I knew that it was an actual book but was never curious enough to look up the contents.
The illustration are specifically about the one that HP used to sellā¦

Iām sure this came as a shock to no one. The Nano KVM seemed suspicious from day one.

My esp32 code online would be easily changed now that all the web interface endpoints are there.
The issue is the hackerboxes version uses a pin that makes wifi negotiation impossible.
My version uses a different esp32 also
@hamspiced Really? I have the HackerBoxes version and I flashed it with ESPHome and it can connect to my WiFi fine.
Edit: Iām using the ESP32-C3 Supermini that came with the kit. This is how I soldered it.

Ah you have the good one.
They were including red super minis that were faulty
I guess that this is the place to show off my small router collection. Both are running vanilla OpenWRT. I have a few older ones but those are not even gigabitā¦

Whatās the boi on the left?
Itās a Banana Pi BPI-R3 Mini, and it has two 2.5 Gigabit NICs! The case is sold separately, the antennas that come with said case are not great, and itās a development board sort of thing so things are not as nice out of the box; it comes with a weird outdated version of OpenWRT.
Iād like to get a set of small antennas that are at least as good as regular generic WiFi antennas. But generic dual band antennas should be good enough even if theyāre a bit larger than what Iād like.
Case on the left is purty.
Never done much with routers, but just bought one and some cameras this Cyber Monday to try hooking up a home CCTV network. One of the more promising tuts I saw recommended the Banana Pi. I might use it in my final design as I eventually want something low power that can run off a battery.
Beginnings of a homelab.

I have an rpi5 on the way and a pi4 that will likely be freed up (serving as media center box, likely to be replaced by the guts of a laptop that I took out of service a bit ago).
Iām seriously considering setting up one of them (probably the pi5) as a sort of modular all-purpose networking device, able to be USB powered.
Iād ideally get a small USB powered unmanaged switch, perhaps a 4-port, and likely another USB wifi module for it.. Maybe even an m.2 802.11ah module, if I get one for the pi4 tooā¦
It could also serve as a little wikipedia backup.
Use cases in mind:
Power goes out for a week in the winter, phone hotspot is the only thing that works. Snowed in. This could run off of a large USB power bank, plug in my phone with a power passthrough dock, and suddenly the phone no longer has to try to keep other devices conmected via wifi, it just acts like a cellular modem. Pi takes care of whatever networking has to happen. Disable individual devices (ie switch) if I need to save power.
Perhaps I host another LAN party. Pull out the box, plug it in, boom, got another handful of network interfaces (including wireless) that can reach my server without giving people a wifi password.
802.11ah; Yeah I just wanna play with it okay? No good use cases.
Maybe itād be nice for camping? Who knows?
