Are you sure it's only 100Mb? I can't see anything that says otherwise, and a YouTube vid that seems to discuss that NAS says it is Gigabit Ethernet.

Not sure about anything with this device to be honest!
I will find out when it arrives and I'll give it a thorough review, then probably brick it installing Open-WRT.

Been stung for customs. That adds £13.58 to the total (£8 handing fee!!).
Anyone else seen an increase in customs charges lately on stuff from China?
I've had many very expensive items slip through without checks or charges in the past. Lately I've had a couple of relatively cheap things (<£50) get charges added.
Not sure if these Chinese sellers have started declaring things correctly and not as £2 and a gift!

We got a $25 web cam shipped to Ca, no added charge. It did take ~3-months.

Interesting. Rather it be a unit without a drive sticking out of the top, but could put it in a box I guess!

Well it's arrived, and it's a fairly well built unit.
US power supply though.
One large issue, ethernet doesn't seem to be working
:@
Wifi does, but don't want to risk installing openwrt if ethernet is screwed.

Same model #, not sure if it's the same device (video shows attempting to connect via mobile app):

WiFi was working fine.
Device is now bricked after I tried to install OpenWRT
:'D
I'll have to wait until I'm near my soldering iron to attach a serial adapter and sort it out.

Had you got the ethernet working, or did you decide to chance it?

Chanced it. Like the fool I am.
Confident I'll be able to at least return it to the state I got it in though. Maybe. We'll see. Already created a dispute on aliexpress since it wasn't functioning right at the start.
