The Brume 2, or MT2500A, is a dedicated security gateway featuring a MediaTek MT7981B dual-core 1.3GHz SoC. Material analysis confirms the chassis is constructed from an aluminum alloy that serves as a passive heatsink, eliminating the need for internal fans. Technical specifications list a 2.5Gbps WAN port and a 1Gbps LAN port, but no internal Wi-Fi radios. Performance metrics demonstrate real-world WireGuard throughput of approximately 355Mbps and OpenVPN throughput of 150Mbps.
Software and hardware specifications include:
- OS Environment: Pre-installed OpenWrt with access to 5,000+ packages.
- Storage: Integrated EMMC plus a microSD slot for logging and data storage.
- Power: 5V/2A USB-C input.
Aggregated data shows that the device is intended for headless operation between an ISP modem and a wireless access point or mesh system. Forensic thermal reports indicate that the aluminum casing effectively dissipates heat during sustained high-throughput VPN sessions. The single 2.5G port is restricted to WAN connectivity, with the LAN side capped at 1G.
Since this unit provides zero wireless coverage, it must be paired with central-hubs or mesh systems to distribute connectivity. It is listed as a dedicated gateway in the vpn-routers database.
