- fignews 7y agoRun OpenWRT on some Edgerouter Xs in my house and for me it’s consistency of the interface/configuration between all of my network devices and also full control. Runs OpenWRT quite well.
- tssva 7y agoI am considering doing the same. What kind of performance are you seeing running OpenWRT? I know with EdgeOS performance is lackluster without using the NAT offloading module.
- tssva 7y agoAlthough their hardware is good I find their software to be a bug filled mess. The EdgeOS 2 series in particular has been disappointing. Impactful bugs that have been extremely slow to address and loss of functionally on some devices which was promised to be resolved but still hasn't. I still can't get IPv6 to work on my Verizon FiOS connection because EdgeOS doesn't support the required options despite years of customers requesting the options being supported. At the same time as this they have attempted to slip a call home function in unnoticed and stopped living up to their obligation to provide source code under the GPL. Edit: I checked after posting this comment and Ubiquity is once again making the GPL source archive available. It had disappeared for quite a while and there was a bit of an outcry regarding it.
