There is often a good increase in performance of a consumer grade router once one of the wrt flavours is installed, so in my mind it would be simpler to just flash it rather than set up a Pi4 like this. Anyways, as was said earlier, if you have a Pi4 in a drawer and you have a need and a managed switch, this is a good use.
- danhor 5y agoYou have very few consumer routers with a CPU capable of routing a gigabit with a firewall (using the Linux network stack). All (consumer) routers implement parts of this in hardware, most of which OpenWRT doesn't support. (For this reason, OpenWRT implements software offloading which skips a lot of the Linux network stack, but is partially broken in the latest release)
- cf100clunk 5y agoI was getting at what options there might be with what is at hand, which a previous commenter mentioned, but your points are probably showstoppers for anyone comparing the Pi4 vs consumer router solutions as a starting point.
