Pricepoint?
FTFA
None of those upgrades come cheap though – the OpenWrt One sells for around $89, but the OpenWrt Two is expected to sell for around $250 when it hits the streets in late 2025.
Thank you, didn’t see it from the article
250US$!? With those hardware specs?
Seems a bit excessive. However, you directly support the OpenWrt project with the purchase.
Wifi7 and 10gb chips are expensive. And so are CPUs capable of handling that.
Still keep hoping for an OpenWRT mesh option. Open mesh options barely seem to exist.
OpenWRT is kind of known for mesh. Batman Adv is very robust and can handle Vlans.
Cudy m3000 is a WiFi6 mesh option built on openwrt. Not sure how it compares with other options from a performance and openness perspective.
I’ll look into it, thanks.
@Lemmchen So this week’s update. I bit the bullet and bought a BananaPi-R3 and two SFP adaptors so I had six ethernet ports. and well … the BPR3 has disappeared off into Courier Limbo stuck in a warehouse somewhere after they said I wasn’t home when they tried to deliver it. Grr… But I have now got my OpenWRT WDS wireless and wired extenders running and all my devices are updated to at least v23. I have started building out my DMZ for #yunohost…
@Lemmchen oh and today my R3 arrived. Of course I’m now away for a week so setup will have to wait till i get back.
