Topic: Some interesting NAS/router devices, anyone have them?

The content of this topic has been archived on 15 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I'm really interested in a NAS/router/wifi combo. After looking around I found a few...

a) Freecom Storage Gateway WLAN: Is this is the one supported by OpenWRT?
 
b) Freecom Data Tank Gateway WLAN: I guess both freecom gateways would use the same firmware, right?

c) Itian SquareOne: This one seems to have more features than the Freecom one (media reader,300mhz cpu, e-sata, usb, 16mb flash, 128mb ram)

d) Amigo NR620g Storage Server Router - Don't know about this brand...

I have the Asus WL700gE but the wireless part is not working anymore, so I'm looking to replace it with something similar. Anyone has any of these devices or can recommend others like it?
I want to use it as a File/download/media server (maybe ftp/web later).

Via EPIA SN is what I'm building my next NAS on.  Purchased an Infrant a while ago, which is nice (and even customizable) but the lack of hardware crypto makes it less interesting.

The problem is that I need it to have a router (wired-wireless) too. Also the cases are really ugly (except the Silverstone LC09, it looks nice). If there was a pci-router That's why I was asking about them, to see if anybody has them.

I have SquareOne sq-201. From what I have learned it is Gemini platform based on Storlink SL3516 chip.* I see that there is some development going on for gemini boards on the trunk svn, the wili boards 111 and 222.  Maybe someone would be interested to port openwrt to sq-201? I am interested. I'll post some pics of hardware of mine box. Booting is done thru RedBoot os.

Mine has:
1.Via Vectro VT6212L 4port USB host controller
2.Storlink SL3516 ARM CPU
3.Marvel 88e1111-bab1 10/100/1000 Ultra Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver
4.Vitesse vsc7395xyv Enhanced 5 + 1-Port Integrated Gigabit Ethernet Switch with Transceivers
5.Jmicron JM20339 Hi-Speed USB to SATA Bridge(connects to external ESATA and internal?)
6.Ralink RT2561 based Wifi mPCI card from Billionton Sytems(yes the card can be exchanged, standard mPCI module with small UFL connectors for anntennas ).
7.Spanshion (AMD) 16mb Flash Mem
8.Nanaya ddrII 128mb RAM in two chips.

Some of the chips drivers are allready in the kernel sources, so compiling kernel should be fairly easy,but I dont have the toolchain,and cross-compiller setup for now.

The sad thing is the manufactirer of this box has not provided any updates for a year now.

The discussion might have continued from here.
