How important is it to have something like coreboot for your firmware/BIOS on your router? I run pfsense on a mini PC router from aliexpress that has an Intel n100 cpu in it, so I guess the bios is intel as well. I self host a few things on an unraid machine, some apps are exposed to the internet through cloudflare tunnels.

Not very. If it boots it boots. Although the ACPI implementation may be a little less buggy (plus you can fix it yourself if needed), so if you’re having power management issues it may help.

One of the two OPT ports isn't working but could be user error. I was thinking of setting up LAGG through the two OPT ports in the future, so that may not be possible, but probably overkill for my use case anyway. But otherwise it boots and works fine. What about from a security standpoint for coreboot vs intel bios?
