N100 4 cores / 4 threads for firewall, routing, VLAN, and low-power network services.
N150 4 cores / 4 threads for firewall, VPN, routing, and everyday network workloads.
N300 8 cores / 8 threads with stronger multitasking headroom for multi-service networking.
N305 8 cores / 8 threads for Proxmox, containers, virtual firewalls, and heavier workloads.
N355 8 cores / 8 threads for more demanding virtualization and multi-service deployments.

Six Intel i226-V 2.5GbE Network Ports

Six Intel i226-V 2.5GbE LAN ports provide dedicated interfaces for Multi-WAN routing, isolated LAN segments, NAS connectivity, access points, cameras, IoT devices, guest networks, and home lab environments.

6 × 2.5GbE Assign physical interfaces to WAN, LAN, NAS, access points, cameras, IoT equipment, or test networks.
Multi-WAN Configure multiple upstream connections for failover, load balancing, or separate gateway routes.
Network Segmentation Separate servers, trusted devices, guests, IoT equipment, and lab systems using physical ports or VLANs.

Flagship Motherboard, DDR5 and Dual NVMe Storage

The F9 uses CWWK's flagship 6-port N-Series motherboard with six Intel i226-V 2.5GbE controllers, one SO-DIMM DDR5 memory slot, two M.2 NVMe SSD positions, and one SATA 3.0 interface. The same core motherboard platform is also used by the F5, F7 and F11 chassis variants.

Large-Back Chassis High-Efficiency Fins Dust-Resistant Design VESA Mounting 8010 Fan Supported

The F9 is distinguished by its Large-Back aluminum chassis and heat-dissipation fin structure. Among the F5, F7, F9 and F11 chassis variants, the F9 uses the most effective fin-based heat-dissipation design, increasing the external surface area available for transferring heat away from the internal hardware.

The chassis also supports VESA installation and incorporates a dust-resistant structural design. For workloads or environments that require additional airflow, an optional 12V 4-pin 80 × 80 × 10 mm 8010 cooling fan can also be installed.

VESA Mounting and Internal Chassis Layout

The F9 chassis provides VESA mounting support for installation behind compatible displays, on mounting plates, or in other space-efficient deployments. Its internal layout accommodates the flagship motherboard while maintaining access to DDR5 memory, dual NVMe storage, SATA connectivity, networking, and optional cooling expansion.

OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt and Proxmox Compatibility

The F9 supports OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt, Proxmox, Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, ESXi, Windows, and other compatible x86 operating systems. Its six network ports make it suitable for firewall routing, VLAN segmentation, Multi-WAN, VPN gateways, virtualized network services, and home lab deployments.

Firewall & Routing Deploy OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt, Multi-WAN, VPN gateways, and VLAN routing.
Home Lab Run virtual firewalls, containers, lightweight servers, and network services on one platform.
Sustained Network Workloads Use the larger finned chassis where increased passive heat-transfer surface area is preferred.

Front and Rear I/O Connectivity

The F9 provides front and rear interfaces for networking, local system installation, display output, USB peripherals, storage access, and power. Six Intel i226-V 2.5GbE LAN ports form the core of its firewall and routing connectivity.
