None of those upgrades come cheap though – the OpenWrt One sells for around $89, but the OpenWrt Two is expected to sell for around $250 when it hits the streets in late 2025.
Thank you, didn't see it from the article
250US$!? With those hardware specs?
Seems a bit excessive. However, you directly support the OpenWrt project with the purchase.
Wifi7 and 10gb chips are expensive. And so are CPUs capable of handling that.
Still keep hoping for an OpenWRT mesh option. Open mesh options barely seem to exist.
Cudy m3000 is a WiFi6 mesh option built on openwrt. Not sure how it compares with other options from a performance and openness perspective.
I'll look into it, thanks.
