I have 4 OpenWRT Ones and they are good.

If you just want a good WiFi router or access point, unless you need something cannot do (e.g. WiFi 7 or 10 Gbit/s Ethernet), and if want to spend minimal time messing around with routers today and in the future, just get this one.

After getting this, I see no reason to ever buy any closed-source router again.

No need to learn/remember any other Router config either. It's just all OpenWRT, always looks the same, always works the same. Setting up a new one takes me 2 minutes max.

The recent OpenWRT update also brought the one feature the project was most sorely missing: A simple "Download and install latest firmware" button in the device UI.

Now they just need to add an unattended-upgrades option and I never have to log in again after initial setup.
