My Openwrt One cleared customs this morning.
Shall let you know when it is delivered.

Cool, can't wait to hear how it is!

Arrived yesterday, just hunting down a suitable power supply as they only offered EU or US

Now were talking:

Not OpenWRT and no built-in Wi-Fi but can be had for around £245.

I'm only looking at OpenWRT FOR WiFi, not as a router.

Just to add to the mix, this guy is running three Minisforums in a cluster for his home lab. Seems a lot better idea than a Pi. To use some form of capable mini pc.

Have also seen an embedded AMD with WIFI 4G and SPF+ on board from a Chinese firm. It seemed very capable.
Always think your router/modem should be a point of minimal failure. with some form of back up. Have myself a fall back of a PlusNet 1 in case my TP link decides to jump!

I have often thought the same as I believe you can install it (OpenWRT) on Ubiquiti hardware, although I like Ubiquiti hardware the weird proprietary software environment with server software etc is annoying although admittedly it works pretty well

I have OpenWRT on a NanoHD because I despised having to run their software and they omitted 160Mhz channel width from their limited WebUI.  I use it for all devices WiFi 5 or older.  The fact I can export comprehensive client information makes it easy to identify any signal problems.

So being able to buy something WiFi 7 with OpenWRT already natively on it fully supported is worth waiting for.

Yesterday I dug out an an old (retired) Ubiquiti AC PRO and installed OpenWRT on it using these instructions, it was easy, worked really well and I like the UI and simplicity

Unfortunately my U7 Pro is not yet supported so, if I want wifi 7 my next AP could be one of these !

Ooh, I have a spare AC Pro lying around, might try this!

If you need QAM-256 on 2.4GHz, it's not been patched on OpenWrt
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/12904

ImmortalWrt has it already if you need that, plus a couple of optimizations that OpenWrt has not included:

Can I ask where you bought from? There was a thread that came up yesterday on the official forums: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/warning-do-not-buy-openwrt-one-via-aliexpress-bipai-product-store/230352/1

Apparently store Bipai is not including CE documentation for import. Maybe this doesn't matter for UK since it's not technically EU but wanted to see.

Oh from the Youyeetoo store, same as on the second post in that thread you linked to.
