The fact that this has USB type C as a option for powering it makes me very interested, but the fact that it does not have at least Wi-Fi 6E makes me not interested. So I think I will have to wait for version 2 of this.
I need this but 4G version..
GL.inet has some LTE routers with OpenWRT on them. I haven't tried the LTE version, and the one (Shadow) I have has to be rebooted once a week, but that's a really cheap one I was trying.
I'm late to the party but please consider this FOSS / liberated hardware option from thinkpenguin. Highly recommended.
Powered by usb-c, runs on librecmc

Turris Omnia & OpenWRT-ONE I wish we had this in Asia
Are you suggesting that AliExpress doesn't ship to Asia?
Ali Express is not as widely-available as you think in Asia (Political stuff)
Somewhat of a pyrrhic victory.
The hardware itself is kinda ass for most use cases. Missing wifi7 as well.
Thoughts...
-
So can't we upgrade the WiFi card to the latest MediaTek WiFi 7 card once OpenWRT pulls in a later kernel?
-
With 3 antennas, would it be disappointing than awaiting hardware setup with more antenna wires and connectors? Maybe this can be done manually, but I like it when things are built for future efforts.
I'm not sure why I would get this openwrt one i stead of one from Turris
