I'm the proud owner of a major brand WiFi router, and there is a typo on the admin login screen. Not a good look, but it's the best we've got.

- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoI would argue that OpenWrt is the best we've got. (I grant that the hardware side remains messy)
- kjs3 3y agoI grant that the hardware side remains messy Other than that, how was the play Mrs Lincoln.
- p1mrx 3y agoYes, but you usually have to choose hardware that's a couple generations behind, in order to run OpenWrt.
- Borealid 3y agoI don't think that's the case, exactly. You can choose current-generation hardware from a company that chooses to implement less advanced wireless specifications. For example, the gl-inet Flint 2 (MT-6000) runs a fork of OpenWRT out of the box and can be flashed with stock OpenWRT snapshots. That's a very modern piece of hardware that will do wifi 6 (not wifi 6E/7). So hardware-wise you get the current gen, software-spec-wise you get one generation behind. I don't think practically speaking you're going to feel much pain from using Wifi 6 for the next few years, as it can saturate a 1Gbps link pretty easily.
- treflop 3y agoYou could run a separate switch/gateway and a separate Wi-Fi access point. Worth it? Idk But it’s nice when your Wi-Fi is just a dumb box with almost no settings that you can upgrade independently.
- hunter2_ 3y agoPfsense (on a Proxmox VM, on a laptop with 2 NICs), tp-link managed switch with PoE on half the ports, all-in-one ASUS box configured as an AP only (and switch). It's only WiFi 5, but in a pinch that could go back to doing everything. Rock solid, with no reboots in years other than what ended up being unnecessary ones. Went 390+ days at one point on pfsense.
- ikiris 3y agoNo you don't. You just have to learn how to compile things.
- pseudosavant 3y agoI run, and love, OpenWrt, but if you make your wifi with routers configured as 'dumb APs', you can keep most of the complexity on the router connected to your internet. I have had (gasp) non-OpenWrt APs on my network at times. Currently I have 3 TP-Link AC routers running OpenWrt, RPi 4 running OpenWrt for the router.
- dudeinjapan 3y agoThe original Street Fighter II arcade game had the same problem, but Capcom managed to fix it: https://fabiensanglard.net/sf2_warrier/index.html https://fabiensanglard.net/sf2_warrier/index.html
- d1str0 3y agoI love these little posts.
- frozenlettuce 3y agoI was replaying Resident Evil 2 and this typo broke the climate for me: "Platform Eleveter" https://twitter.com/ResiFacts/status/1189139062197604357 https://twitter.com/ResiFacts/status/1189139062197604357 (in moments like that you are reminded, "oh, this is a Japanese game")
- furyofantares 3y agoI'll note that you have typo'd the typo, it looks like it was "elevater".
- frozenlettuce 3y agoI'm leaving that unedited for posterity, thanks for pointing that out
- dudeinjapan 3y agoLiving in Japan I see so much bad English spelling I’ve gotten used it. Esp. at restaurants it can be very off-putting (e.g. “Flesh Juice” instead of “Fresh Juice”)
