New router with OpenWrt compatibility out of the box! It’s a fork, but of what I am reading it’s similar approach to GL.iNet routers with little work to flash a vanilla version.

      Not when I consider the price of replacing this box when it’s no longer supported.

      And even ignoring the longevity issue, $69 is a small premium for superior specs and open firmware, which I am unlikely to get anywhere else.

      I find that spending a bit more for tools that work much better and last much longer is nearly always the right choice. Better functionality, less waste, less hassle, and usually less money in the long run.
