Not yet received, seller only ship out yesterday so damn slow. I'll report back once received and testing it, currently still using the stock time ac1200.

Technician computer shop usually can do ?

If you don't feel confident to do it yourself, maybe you could ask on the Thinkpad forums here. I've never set foot in a PC shop for years and I don't have a very high opinion of their capabilities.

One of my laptops is a X220, it was straightforward to flash a whitelisted BIOS, the X230 seems to be more involved.

i didnt plan to have internet connection on that router, only as a cctv system...

thinking to buy between both the option i stated before ( max rm150)

will it work?

the plan is to convert the router as a nas server by flashing it with openwrt and attached a usb hard disk to it ( saw a video on youtube)

xiaomi cctv ---> router with usb connected to hard disk ---> to my pc ( to view the video save in the hard disk )

sorry if asking in wrong thread...
