They provide regular software updates, and it is imho a good hacker/tinkerer router.
- pgaddict 8y agoI agree - got one, quite happy with it. But it's targeted for home use, not sure how well it fits into larger networks (small offices). MikroTik seems like a better fit for that, not sure. One major advantage of Turris Omnia is that CZ.NIC is a non-profit, so they are not as constrained by profitability of this project, and it's a part of a larger strategy (e.g. you may allow reporting statistics back to turris: https://project.turris.cz/en/global-stats/ https://project.turris.cz/en/global-stats/).
- anc84 8y ago300€ is about 5 times what I would consider a price to pay for a home router though.
- thecatspaw 8y agothis depends on what you want out of it I guess. I wanted a tinker router, one which doesnt treat me like an absolute idiot, with a spf for fiber, can do gigabit easily and is expandable.
- blacksmith_tb 8y agoThe hAP-ac I have also ticks most of these boxes[1], but costs less than half what the Turris does (no PCIe, but I am not sure what I'd use that for in a router). 1: https://mikrotik.com/product/RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT https://mikrotik.com/product/RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT
- lowry 8y agoThis is about 5 times the price of hAP ac from Mikrotik, and hAP ac can do some things much faster due to hardware acceleration of some of its capabilities in Qualcomm QCA8337 switch chip.
