Why not just have a separate router and AP(s) that are all running OpenWRT? That's what I've done so I can upgrade my wireless without having to redo my network

It is hard to replicate OpenWRT's GUI, terminal tools, and online resources with a bespoke for solution.
- Naac 6y agoI personally haven't really used OpenWRT, so I'm not familiar with its GUI. However, the PFSense GUI is pretty straightforward. Shorewall has no GUI and is all text based configuration, but personally I prefer that. If OpenWRT supports wireless APs then sure that seems like great software to use. In my experience most Wireless APs have proprietary firmware and are not supported by most open source solutions. I block all egress on them. Having a router/AP combo that runs OpenWRT is great, the solution I proposed just expands your hardware options for non OpenWRT compatible hardware.
