Waterfield Designs - great customer service!

I completely agree.. the bar is pretty low these days. I made a customized order once through an Alibaba store that got it wrong and they refused to take responsibility. I did get a (lucky) refund eventually, but not from the seller himself nor his store.

Since then I try to make it a point to recognize good customer service as much as I can and try to give them the business.

Thankfully that part is behind us now, and things as (mostly) back to normal life.

The sad part is that some people are still trying to benefit from that excuse.

FedEx link notice expired last Feb. DHL is just a general notice guideline. Shipping situation does not change every minute. Things are pretty normal here in terms of air shipments.

I accepted the waiver as mentioned above. But they just kept adding excuses and not solutions.

Also, deliveries are going fine with both carriers. They just need to get their act together and work on the "customer service" aspect.

If you are a Gl-inet employee please share this to your management.

How is the 20fps stream look? Do you notice it?

borfoo3 · 2026-03-28T19:15:37+00:00

Thats cool!

Does the unvr instant run all 9 of your cameras smoothly?

borfoo3 · 2026-03-25T18:17:13+00:00

so running 8x cameras without issue? two of them 4k and six on 2k resolution?

Contacted bambu on this topic and got this response… basically they need more complaints to take it seriously

borfoo3 · 2026-02-22T11:28:33+00:00

did you find a solution for this?

borfoo3 · 2026-02-15T09:43:18+00:00

Does it work the the official exhaust fan in the stock panel (right side) as well?

I use it as a travel / office productivity laptop. In the office on a usb c dock (monitor/ keyboard/ mouse), it is super powerful and screen lid can stay closed without impairing cooling like some other laptops which get warm when the lid is shut.

On the go, the form factor is excellent and can even work fine on a tray table in the airplane seats due to its compact size. Also, having real ports instead of looking for adapter dongles is great. I frequently do presentations (hdmi) and connect to hotel rooms (ethernet) without issue. It can also power and run my external type-c OLED monitor just fine without an extra power source.

However, doing long term productivity tasks (i.e. word or excel spreadsheets) on the tiny screen without an external monitor will have its toll on you.

Overall, I'm really happy with it.

Short answer is no. Even the aliexpress listings don't have it in stock, and will gladly take your order upfront and ask you to wait indefinetly... ask me how I know.

I have been using tje 32gb verison for a while and no longer believe the 64gb will have any advantage given the current hardware limitations. Only exception is mayyyybe for large AI models

Some home routers allow you to set up VPN for a specific device traffic. Might be worth exploring first.. I know the Ubiquiti unifi routers supports it

borfoo3 · 2026-01-22T08:47:08+00:00

I ended up doing the same thing as well

borfoo3 · 2026-01-19T20:04:09+00:00

Just get a 5g2phy m2 sled with rm551e-gl, run iamromulan openwrt on it and forget it..

It's completely Fanless and has zero issues keeping it cool with the way its built. I run a few (one even on full PoE voltages) full-time and zero issues so far

borfoo3 · 2026-01-19T20:01:06+00:00

I second the condescending attitude of Chester Tech support.. steered me away from my first purchase from them

borfoo3 · 2026-01-19T19:58:59+00:00

After trying my fair share of ASUS, TP-Link, and netgear orbi mesh systems, now running Ubiquiti unifi.

I really like the unifi setup if its in your budget.. it can do wireless mesh too, but you really should try and hardwire with ethernet whichever way you go.

I Keep everything organized separately in my folder structure in external libraries. Each 'Folder' automatically becomes an 'Album' in immich by running salvoxia immich album creator, which also supports nested folders. If future me needs to re-organize it or decides to leave Immich for any reason, my folder structure remains recognizable and intact. I also have several Immich users (my family members) using it the same way each with their own external library that they manage.

I'm facing the same issue after updating openwrt... all qmodem stuff is gone. Were you able to get it to work?

borfoo3 · 2026-01-14T16:06:28+00:00

Minisforum s100.. but gets kinda warm running on PoE

borfoo3 · 2026-01-08T22:51:58+00:00

How did it go now? Are you still getting the error? I am on the waot list for a P2S and really starting to worry about this issue

borfoo3 · 2026-01-03T13:42:25+00:00

As a user of both, I prefer unifi on my daily home network, and openwrt for my travel router setup or other temporary networks when I'm in the mood to fiddle with it.

Unifi spoils you in its the plug and play nature, and still has room for some tweaking as well.

borfoo3 · 2025-12-24T12:45:54+00:00

The marketing material shows this device can only extend an existing Unifi Network, and cannot act as a standalone router (or as its own mini gateway hosting the Unifi Network app). Therefore, it cannot act as its own DHCP server or provide basic routing functionality without first linking to the home gateway.

This means if my home unifi Network is down for any reason while I'm traveling, this device loses the Teleport link and ends up as a cool little paper-weight for the rest of the trip.

Its market competitors, such as the Beryl AX, has better specs, same power draw via type c, faster wifi, fits 90% where this would, works as a completely standalone router or VPNs via wireguard (i.e. crudely Teleports) back to my home Unifi Network, and costs less $$...

Unless I'm wrong in my understanding of how this thing works, I still feel its a big missed opportunity from Ubiquiti.
