Yea, $55 for a OpenWRT router is hard to find for a quality one that supports/embraces flashing your own firmware and with 64mb+ RAM. Those come in $300-700+ flavors.
Which at that point, a true enterprise solution via ubiquiti or even cisco is affordable.
- nine_k 4y agoThese more expensive routers usually have at least 4 GBE ports, and two or three wifi radios, capable of beam forming. So it's apples and oranges. (Mine was a used one, under $100.)
- forinti 4y agoCheck out GL.inet. (I don't work for them, I just like their products)
- edpenz 4y agoThere are some real steals if you dig deep enough. Case in point the Xiaomi 4A GbE: * $30 (not missing a zero) * OpenWRT support * 128MB RAM * 3 gigabit ethernet ports * 802.11ac Wi-Fi Sure it's not going to compare to a full Raspberry Pi (tiny flash, no USB, no video, no expandability), but for plain routing it's fantastic value.
