> APU router is the most open-source network device you can buy. It comes with open-source BIOS, open-source operating system of your choice and open hardware schematics. It's not locked down in any way.
I bought mine with opnsense pre-installed and it has been absolutely rock solid. For wi-fi, I've just used an old router with wifi in "ap-mode" connected to my APU router -- interestingly it turns out that the throughput bandwidth for wi-fi increased by orders of magnitude as soon as the poor Asus box didn't have to perform any logic on the packets passing through.

- hnarn 3y agoYeah that really sucks, but I hope the many other options for opnsense routers are decent too when this one decides to break.
- kaliszad 3y agoIt should be possible to e.g. use the Turris router: https://www.turris.com/en/ https://www.turris.com/en/ I heard a 10G option is in the pipeline.
