I have been following this product since the idea was first proposed. I have been using OpenWRT for several years. Users of OpenWRT know that consumer grade wifi routers have shortcomings such as limited firmware support which leads to security issues. There is also the issue of limited resources as well as some features that simply do not exist on consumer grade routers. OpenWRT One is designed to correct many of these shortcomings at a very reasonable price. OpenWRT firmware is regularly updated and supports hardware for many years helping to reduce security problems.

This wifi router is based on a Mediatek SoC that I know is very solid because I had picked out a wifi router based on the same Filogic 820 SoC early this year and it has exceeded my expectations. It does a really good job with 160 MHz wide channel widths, even supporting 5 GHz DFS channels with 160 MHz channel widths where available. While this product is not the latest WiFi 7, tri-band wifi router, it is very good and very reasonably priced.

The product is manufactured and sold by Banana Pi but the specifications were set by OpenWRT and OpenWRT gets a cut of the sales price to help run its organization. This is a product that users of this site might be interested in. This site does not receive any compensation for this post. It is simply information that I think would be beneficial to users of this site.
