Community Feedback

Many users are excited about the OpenWrt One, with some already receiving their units.

What a coincidence to see this on the front page! I just received my OpenWrt One because I’m tired of dealing with the questionable quality of most routers.

Others are comparing it to other open-source options, like OPNSense.

How about OPNSense on open hardware of your choice, and passing messy wireless to separate AP? OpenWRT is very good, but the installation and upgrades are not easy.

Alternative Options

Some users are suggesting alternative open hardware options, such as Turris.
