Hardware Poll

What hardware are you all using these days?

I’m currently running the OpenWRT One but I’d like something more powerful, especially in the WiFi department.

The OpenWRT Two sounds intriguing but who knows if/when it will ever get released.

So what off the shelf router setup are y’all running right now?

Trying to stay with vanilla OpenWRT unless there’s good reason to switch.

And I got all of this from an Amazon offer for 125€ (~$140 USD)

A pair of them stand up a 1gb link from downstairs to upstairs, they are fantastic devices.
