Unless I'm mistaken, you're describing a captive portal, which this can handle fine and is unaffected by EAP protocol limitations.

Equally important is the GMKTec is the eth port is only 1g vs. 2.5g on the AOOstar which is an important future-proofing detail.

N150 chip and ddr5 ram. The AOOstar is better unless you need the full 16gb of ram.

I'd be curious what skylake iteration you have that performs as well as an n150 at the same TDP.

It's a great alternative. These things sip power. This N150 chip should idle around 10W. If power consumption is your goal, you're better…

From what I've read, with these boxes there is negligible performance difference between DDR4 and DDR5.
