In which way is OpenWRT basic?
- briHass 3mo agoI was thinking the same thing. I switched from Mikrotik to OWRT because I wanted actual Linux, not a nerfed version of it that made scripting miserable.
- cyberax 3mo agoFor things like multiple DHCP/PD servers for multiple networks, subnetting (with dynamic prefixes), firewall rules, etc.
- BenjiWiebe 3mo agoYou can actually ditch the GUI and go to the command line with OpenWrt and do custom/weird/power-user stuff to your heart's content.
- cyberax 3mo agoWell, yes. But I can do that with a nice UI in Mikrotik. Other things: switch port management and bridging, proxy ARP, and so on.
- cassianoleal 3mo agoWhat about switch port management? I can't remember the last time I couldn't do something with switching on it. Not sure what you mean about bridging either. I've never had a use for proxy ARP so wouldn't know, but I do know it's possible to enable it. If not on the GUI, at least on the CLI.
- cyberax 3mo agoMAC-based VLANs and port-based VLANs primarily.
