- HP T620 Plus is a good x86 PC for network appliance, for example router, firewall and radius server. A lot of people are running it with OpenWRT or pfSense. The PC is powered by the AMD GX-420CA Soc, with 4 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz. It supports up to 16GB of DDR3L RAM has variety of connectors and port: Mini-PCIE, M.2 SATA SSD, m-SATA and internal USB port. It also has a PCIE x16 slot, which can fit a Ethernet Adapter or a Low Profile graphic card.
I've installed OpenWRT on the PC and set it up as a router. In this video, I will share with you an short overview of the HP T620 Plus.

Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
looking forward for the next video
Hi, the video is published now - th-cam.com/video/FP6fS2WjHJg/w-d-xo.html
Awesome!!! You got my attention. Can’t wait👍🏾❤️✔️
Yay! Thank you!
cool project
In case you need a suggestion for a new video, I've discovered you can install iperf3 directly on an OpenWRT router, it's really handy to test LAN speed without the need for two separate machines on the network!
Yup, we can set up the iperf server running on the router and I have tried this in some of the video. Thanks for sharing this.
@@VanTechCorner I am looking to use ubiquity radio as my WISP setup. I want to resell internet and IP TV via my network I want to sell live TV content Movies on deman. I have found Linux opensource software to accomplish such but network wise ca this set up be used.
I want to sell 40 customers and grow the small business to have 200 user by next year June. note I am quite technical so I can understand as I am doing my degree in network engineering but we have not gotten to do something like this. I need a reply urgently may be you can do a video on that or send me some information.
Can you add a 5g moden to it and use it as a 5g router?
Bạn cho mình hỏi, gắn NIC ko có Bracket dễ bị tuột ra khỏi khe pcie ko (trong video 5:32, card bị xệ)? Mình còn card pro/1000 2 port, do ko có LP bracket nên chưa dám gắn vào xài.
Đối với T620P thì không dễ rớt ra, nhưng vì các cổng cắm dây mạng nằm sâu bên trong nên mỗi lần gắn/rút dây mạng rất khó và kiểu gì cũng làm lung lay card. Nếu chỉ gắn 1 lần rồi dùng thì được, chứ có nhu cầu tháo rút thì bạn nên tìm bracket.
Any recommendation for a wifi card that works well in AP mode? Thanks
Hi, you can take a look at QCA98xx series. It work well in AP mode.
Hi thanks for the video. I would like to add a wifi card Qualcomm Atheros AR9485. Would you be kind enough to guide on how to setup and configure this? Also would appreciate if you could give a heads up on how to have this built-in. I have the same machine, HP T620 Plus and would really like to use it as my home router. Thanks
In order to make a wireless adapter work, you will need to install firmware/driver. There is a video on "Install wireless network adapter" on the OpenWRT tutorial playlist. You can watch this video to have the basic concept. Basically you will need to find the driver package for your card and install it with opkg / LucCI software manager.
Cho mình hỏi cái card ethernet 4 port bạn dùng là loại nào thế ạ. Cho mình xin tên chính xác với :D
Mình dùng Intel T340-T4. ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/49186/intel-ethernet-server-adapter-i340-t4.html
Cho mình hỏi là con này có tính năng tự động bật nguồn khi có điện không?
Mình cám ơn
@Van Tech Corner
Có nhé bạn.
what's model NIC INTEL ADAPTER?
It is Intel I340-T4
How much do you pay for your internet connection Van? Is it Unlimited?
Hey, I pay for ~ 17$/month for 200Mbps unlimited fiber connection. It comes with a ZTE dualband GPON routers and 2 nodes of WiFi Mesh. The ISP now double the bandwidth to their speedtest server, that why you see ~ 400 Mbps.
I'm currently using t620plus to run pfsense.
This is a solid PC with low power consumption. Not only router, this PC can be used for virtualization purposes.
@@VanTechCorner how much power does it take??
Does it do full gigabit routing?
@@ExillNetworks ofc It can, I've used it for 3 years
@@thieuson THANK YOU! All is so hyped about using this thing as an network appliance, that noone is doing performance measurements.
1 củ 8 chiến luôn anh ơi. Chơi hét mình luôn
Làm gì tới giá đó, anh mua có 1.2 triệu à.
@@VanTechCorner chuẩn bị thi THPT QG xong đi làm thêm hè rồi cố gắng làm 1 con :v
Hồi đó tui mua barebone là 800k trên shopee
@@thieuson khoái mấy con teardown dễ :vvv
Con này chạy mát mà ổn định lắm, OpenWrt throughput ổn định ở 1 Gbps dễ dàng.
Does it do full gigabit routing??
Yes it does.
@@VanTechCorner Thank you!
Mua ở chỗ chỗ nào mà giá 1tr2 vậy ta ? Giờ bèo lắm cũng 1tr7 rồi
In your next video, when you do some tests to see the performance of the PC running OpenWRT x86 - NAT.....
would like to see extensive details of configurations of NAT , Openwrt has a different style of firewall and it took a few attempts to get it set right because it would block everything , and there are so many install instructions that are conflicting as some folks rent a cloud server for vpn and some use a commercial vpn service
Seeing details of NAT in Openwrt would be great to see the various possible confirmations that can be done Thanks !
Yes, we have different type of NAT and I will make a video about this, soon. I don't have a networking certificate so it is not easy to explain what I understand about NAT in a technical way. Thanks for your constructive comment.
Great! Here u can get T620 for about 40€.
Great to hear that, is it the T620 or T620 Plus?
@@VanTechCorner T620 Plus
Great video but you skipped the most important part! That is how to install openwrt on T620 plus. Where to download, did you build the firmware or was the standard build good enough for this PC.
The installation is very simple: download the OpenWRT x86 build from openwrt.org and write it to the USB with Rufus. I have done 2 videos for the installation guide, you can check them out.
@@VanTechCorner I am having trouble getting my T620 plus to work with Openwrt. I installed Intel 1000 PT 4 port nic. Booted with ubuntu live USB flash drive and it recognizes onboard nic as well as Intel 4 port nic and all network ports work. I then download the openwrt-22.03.1-x86-64-generic-squashfs-combined.imag.gz. Unzipped and flashed it to internal m.2 SATA drive using DD command. rebooted and open wrt sits on "adding vlan 0 to hw filter on device eth1" never gets to a prompt. I can't access web interface either. I have tried ext4 combined image, I have tried using a USB flash drive with efi image and all are getting stuck at the same message. Appreciate any advice you can give to troubleshoot.
Hi, please give a try with BIOS (Legacy) boot first. Also, it is suggested to remove the network adapter and try with the onboard NIC on the first boot, so that the LAN port will be the onboard NIC.
openwrt cluster ip ?😁
Why not pfsense?
I see a lot of content for this HP T620 Plus with pfSense, and decided to do something different.
Isn't this a bit too overkill for openwrt?
If you need this much performance you should be looking at pfsense or opnsense.
Why?
@@nekilik5925 Openwrt doesn't need this much power for what it can do. You would only need this performance when doing IDS/IPS, multi user VPN, complex firewall rules etc. which is more suited to be done on something like opnsese/pfsense than openwrt.
@Chai I have been using pfSense for some time and I prefer OpenWRT. We can also achieve what you listed with OpenWRT.
@@VanTechCorner Can you kindly make a video on how to enable IPS/IDS on openwrt.
@@alvinzantua3829 There is no use for IDS/IPS in 2021, everything is encrypted. It would only be useful if you MITM all the client's traffic by installing a custom certificate and using a transparent proxy.
Bro i asked you something why do you not answere about it 🤷
Bro, sometime I may missed some comment. Can you please post your question / topic in the Van Tech Corner & Friends group on FB, I will see you there
@@VanTechCorner I'm not on Facebook but give me your Instagram or whatsapp
bro i live in university and I'm trying to play online game on my ps4 but they use firewall on that wifi so i tried to use my phone hotspot on ps4 with vpn and proxy so it almost worked like i can update and browse anything but my PlayStation network account not getting active keep getting failed then i tried that same way with my phone data and used vpn and proxy and tried then it worked so good but when i use that wifi everything work only not getting active my PlayStation network account pls tell me how could i fix how could i bypass that wifi
There is no way to bypass that, when you are using the 4G connection NAT is not working properly that is why you can't have the required NAT type to play game. However, you can try to contact your network provider and ask them to check on this.
