This is awesome! I've been using OpenWRT for more than a decade, and I think it's great that they're designing their own hardware now. I'm on a GL.iNet MT-600

This is awesome! I've been using OpenWRT for more than a decade, and I think it's great that they're designing their own hardware now.
I'm on a GL.iNet MT-6000 right now, and it's a great router. The stock firmware is based on openwrt, and they make it very easy to upgrade to an official openwrt release. I bought it before the OpenWRT One became available, but I probably would have gone with it anyways because it has two 2.5gb ports whereas the OpenWRT One only has a single 2.5gb port. I'm on 1gb internet right now, so that would be fine for the moment, my ISP has already been advertising 2gb service coming soon, and I'd like to upgrade once it's available.
It looks like the MT7988 chip they chose for the OpenWRT Two supports either two 10gb ports or one 10gb and a bunch of other ports, so I think they made the right call. It should be capable of handling up to 5gb internet service, so it'd be a better fit for someone like me.
I imagine it'll also be one of the first and likely best OpenWRT devices to support Wi-Fi 7.
- PaulKeeble 2y agoThere is experimental support for the Asus BT8 which is a be14000 device, there are snapshot builds for it but issues going back to the Asus firmware. Also banana pi R4 development board and it's got a be14000 WiFi card. These are all the devices I know that have support but many of the mt7988s should get added in time.
