Quiet dual-faster-port mini still sold new: Beelink EQ12
A quiet mini with two faster house ethernet ports for home services you leave on. Still sold new. Not EQ14, not a four-port firewall.
A quiet mini with two faster house ethernet ports, still sold new, for house services you leave on. 2.5G means faster house ethernet, not a 10G cage. This is the Beelink EQ12: N100, 16 GB DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM, 500 GB, 2× 2.5G, HDMI ×2 + USB-C, Wi-Fi 6. TDP 6 W class / 25 W turbo. Amazon B0CGHSSPSP, B0C1RQNRBZ. Newegg 2SW-0012-00158 (first listed 6 Jun 2026) and 2SW-0012-000Y9. Regional CZ shops still sell 8 GB and 16 GB. Skip 8 GB.
Distinct from EQ14 (N150, often 1G, internal PSU, official max 16 GB DDR4). Dual-2.5G living-room class, not 4-NIC. If you need four ports, see VP2430e or CWWK. The chip-class pick is still N100 vs N150.
What to buy
| Listing | What it is | Note |
|---|---|---|
Newegg 2SW-0012-00158 | EQ12 N100, dual 2.5G titles are cleaner here | First listed 6 Jun 2026. Prefer Newegg after you read the NIC line. |
Amazon B0CGHSSPSP | EQ12 N100 listing | Amazon only after reading the NIC line. Titles drift. |
| Regional 8 GB EQ12 | Same chassis, 8 GB | Trap. Skip. |
Skip
Skip 8 GB regional SKUs. Skip assuming EQ12 and EQ14 share a NIC. Skip chasing Minisforum UN100L or MS-01 as substitutes. UN100L was OOS on Newegg fetch; MS-01 is sold out. See dual-LAN vs 4-NIC if you are still choosing a class.
