The good old freezer trick ... (aka receipt for dead devices)
My Turris Omnia NG router was dead. No lights nowhere. I took out the installed NVMe SSD. I took out the RTC battery. Nothing helped. The display stayed black, the etherenet ports didn't blink at all.
So I unplugged everything and put the power supply and the router into the freezer for half an hour. Then I took everything out, waited another half hour and plugged everything back together and ... the router lived again!
(Sometimes «fixing» things can be really strange.)

I finally got some time to reconfigure my network. From now on #Turris #OmniaNG is my main gateway to the internet.
Well, the software needs a lot of polish:
🪲 It has a wifi7 card, but I have to run it only in AC mode, or any connected client causes restart of all radios. I hope this will be fixed soon.
🪲 The display only worked on first boot, since than it only shows scrambled image or nothing. I don't mind it, as it's just a novelty for me. One day I would like to try render my own stuff maybe.
❓ It has two SFP+ ports, so I also bought 2×Turris metallic 1/2.5/5/10G SFP+ modules. One for older Omnia, one for Omnia NG. It makes the connection, but it runs 2.5G in one direction (that's ok, it's the maximum older omnia can handle) and 0.2G in the other direction.
I don't understand why. Is it a hardware failure? Or software bug? Or technolohy incompatibilty of some kind? 🤷♂️
🪲 Some LEDs are resetting brightness to max often. That's a bit annoying.
