No, there's more than enough power, even on a PoE switch with a minimal power budget. In fact, you have to use a step down power adapter like the ones I recommended.

I use it mainly for web development (e.g., running python scripts locally and interacting with OpenAI API, simple bash scripts for sending commands to our AV matrix switches and Zoom Rooms, etc.). But it's a good general purpose computer. Easy to use as a Remote Desktop as well if you want a reliable, small Remote Desktop sitting around somewhere.

Hello @DonAsk-ks2qy. That's definitely not a common issue with Meerkats. We'd love to get to the bottom of this. Please reach out to support and let's get this fixed for you. Even if your Meerkat is out of warranty, we offer lifetime support and can help diagnose the issue.

The specific one I used is linked in the video description and looks like it's cheaper at the moment than when I bought it a couple years ago

You'd think it would be a more high quality material but it's plastic and you just pop them off. I used a flat head screwdriver.

Thanks for confirming it's working with 2014 as well!

Absolutely. I already have a PoE switch running other gear in my house but just sending power over cat with the bundled power supply would work great, too. You're talking about this approach, right? ua-cam.com/video/aErLiAM2o40/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

@@NathanGrahamly correct, that’s essentially it

Thanks for the heads up! Bummer. I knew a few of their desktops weren't using Coreboot but I didn't know that about the minis. I'll update the video with this info.

@@NathanGrahamly Coreboot is only on the Intel laptops not the Pangolin or any desktop.

@@aaronhoneycutt2181 Thanks for the info and that makes sense. I've ordered two of their Intel laptops for staff here at work and both have coreboot. I'll update the video with your info.

Hi @bastianelken7125. Coreboot might be on the new Meerkat coming out next month. We're running some tests on it now to make sure.

Great news. Hope this is the case

I saw that there were some issues with fan noise from a previous iteration of this box but I haven't even noticed the fan kicking on up to this point. I rendered a 20 minute video on it last week and didn't hear it complaining.

@@NathanGrahamly, feeling relieved. I will buy one too. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Definitely -- no issues at all. I carried quite a lot of weight on these rails this summer for camping trips, too. When I installed this, I thought the end covers would be the issue since they are made of plastic but those have held up fine as well.

Not sure outside of the 2015-2019 years. I see quite a few roof rails for 2011 Rogues on ebay though. The general approach in this video would still work

I bought this used and haven’t looked into other years but the 2019 Rogue S comes with a bare roof. I’d imagine that’s how many of the other folks landed here.

Nope, thankfully no rattling. Hard to describe but the rivets are made of very thin aluminum, and the piece that drops isn’t round. So you have something light, that won’t roll, in a large space. I wondered the same thing though and read a good number of tutorials, and really the only way to remove a rivet is to destroy it.

@@NathanGrahamly thanks for the advice. I just installed the kit today. Unfortunately the bit that came with the rack snapped in half after I drilled 2 holes. I had to leave the trim off and it looks fine. I hope it doesnt leak in some way, but overall I am extremely pleased with this setup.

I got them on Amazon and the kit costs a little over a hundred bucks. I put the link to it in the video description

I felt the same way but I bought a $22 rivet gun on Amazon and used the included rivets and put a Yakima box on top with 100+ lbs this summer and had no issues. It’s surprisingly sturdy.

So far, so good - I had a large Yakima cargo box on the roof over the summer with probably 100lbs of camping gear at one point, and rock solid. The main issue I could see cropping up with these bars is if you don’t snugly fasten the snap down rail-end covers since those aren’t bolted down like the rest. Hasn’t been an issue though for me.

Glad to hear it. I had the exact same issue and after I installed the first rail, I figured I'd show the second rail install to save others the pain. I think the rivet removal is scary for a lot of people but it's actually easy to do.

@@NathanGrahamly I installed them Monday, with the video on standby. Glad I didn't use the template provided, like you suggested, because it's a solid inch off. All else went smoothly, thanks again.

Good to hear! Yep the paper templates and instructions that come with these DIY rail kits leave much to be desired…. Marking the location of the bolts the old fashioned way with a marker or pen is a good idea

Do you know if these kits are still available?
