That’s the official dev board. You can build a router with that, but most people don’t build their routers up from components.

GL-iNet definitely predates it though.

That’s the official dev board.

You can buy just the board if you want, but it’s also available as a consumer product: case, power supply, antennas, FCC/EC/RoHS compliance and all.

GL-iNet definitely predates it though.

Sure, though so does every compatible router since the 20+ year old Linksys WRT54G predate it. What’s particular about this one is that the OpenWRT team designed it.

Gli-net and others, are built from the ground up explicitly for openwrt. Banana too I think

The point is, if they are lying in the headline, what else are they lying about?

Who is this “they”?

  1. Writers often don’t get to choose the headlines. copy editors do.
  2. Whoever the Software Freedom Conservancy is, it is neither the OpenWRT team nor Shenzhen SINOVOIP Co. Ltd.

Are there some openwrt based access points with proper client roaming? I use some random off the shelf tplinks as APs, and the connection always drops for a few seconds as I walk through the house. Turns out, I walk around a lot while talking on the phone.

I’ve been playing with the idea of buying ubiquiti, but that’s quite overpriced, especially considering that the budget option goes 90% of the way for at least 1/10 of the price.

You can set up fast roaming (802.11r) which is supported by most mobile clients and gives a much more organised handover between APs. Bit of config tangle but apparently works ok once you get it going.
