Wonderful box !

I can confirm this is a very valid CPE that can be a NREN CPE.

So far, mine is running 24x7 and is handling massive gaming/ YouTube traffic
activity (thanks kids and miss !)

It would be great to have a candidate NREN willing to test this CPE in real
TRL9 condition !

Anyway just to let you know that Csaba’s box cost 400eur because of an i7
with AES-NI (so better if you need VPN concentrator feature)

Mine is 200eur but this is pure retail price.

I'm pretty sure that with the « volume » massive buying effect price can be
significantly lower ...

Lets see if KIFU will do something with it soon now L2TP is available ;)

À bientôt,
-- Frederic
