- Warmish Case---Due to the fanless design, the whole case is a big heat sink, which conducts heat to the case when it's running
- Reinstall the system---Because it has been installed a system by default, if you need to use it with windows 10 or other firewall system as a firewall/soft router, you need to reinstall the system yourself.
