    From the image, it doesn’t seem like it has rack mounts, which is kind of an odd choice. There are lots of switches that have a similar form factor, but can be put in 10" or 19" racks depending on which rack ears you put on it

      It really grinds my gears how many things could be almost trivially designed to be rackmountable, but aren’t for no good reason. I guess in some cases it’s for market segmentation so they can charge more for “enterprise” gear, but in a lot of cases they don’t make any of that stuff to begin with so it clearly isn’t.

      I’m actually so fed up with it that I’m seriously considering learning how to do sheet metal fabrication so I can make my own damn rackmount cases for stuff (with blackjack and hookers).

      Also, what I really want is a version of this thing that’s rackmountable but has no wifi, and then another in the form factor of a ceiling-mounted PoE access point.

      (And yes, this is just for my house, not “enterprise.” It’s not even a very big/fancy house; I just like my tech to be cleanly installed.)

        I could whip up rack ears but making threaded holes confounds me. Even got a tap and die set, still can’t figure it out.

      I run an older half depth supermicro server with a sfp+ PCI card for my router. At this point, it feels like dedicated boxes just aren’t worth it for routers except for enterprise where I need a support contract.
