I know openwrt actually realised a openwrt router.
I bought a flint 2 from glinet And it works pretty well
Yeah, my Flint 2 has been a workhorse for about a year and a half now. They just recently released the Flint 3, but I don’t feel any urgency to upgrade. And even when I do, I’ll probably repurpose my current Flint 2 to be an access point on the other side of the house.
My only real complaint is that since it only has 4 LAN ports, (3 if you switch the first one to be a second WAN port) you basically need to run a dedicated switch as well. Not a huge issue in the grand scheme of things, (unmanaged switches are super cheap, after all), but I run a small Dante audio-over-IP system, which requires low latency. So I try to avoid having a bunch of switch hops in between my devices, as each switch hop adds some latency. I basically split each of those four LAN lines to a separate room, and each room has its own switch. So I’m never more than three switch hops (room 1 switch > router > room 2 switch) away from any other device.
