    I’m glad it’s open hardware as much as open software, but I think I’ll wait to see what the OpenWrt Two looks like.

    Mmh only two Ethernet ports? I guess it’s for people who use mostly wifi only?

      It’s just the router, I guess. Provide your own switch for more ports.

        Exactly this. With VLAN tagging you can plug that single 2.5Gb connection into a 48-port managed switch and effectively have up to 47 different NICs if that’s what floats your boat. They’d all share the 2.5Gb but that’s still more than a lot of small networks need.

    If only it were a useful hardware configuration.

      It’s $90 and for if you want a wifi router. What are you missing?

        I would need the WiFi and a 5 port integrated switch (won’t refuse 8 either), and then I’d buy 3 or 4 of them immediately.

            …and I knew that already when I wrote what I need.

            Ever think before you post?
